    Help me like celery (not with pb)

    I cannot seem to eat celery unless it is COVERED in peanut butter, and that seems to negate the health benefits, Any other ideas on how to use up the celery sitting in my refrigerator?

      You could julienne the celery and put it in a stir fry!

      Put a stalk in the blender with other veggies and fruit.

      I drink this every morning:
      8 oz of Trop 50 Orange Juice (50 Cals w/ 10 grams of sugar)
      1 cup of Strawberries
      1/2 cup of carrot juice
      Celery stalk
      Fill with spinach to the top. (makes the smoothie greeeen, but you can't even taste it!)

      I swear it tastes good. lol

      This is my sneaky way of getting veggies in because I don't like veggies at all!!!!

      I hate celery, but if itt's cut small I can stand it. I also don't mind it in stir fry and/or topped with fat free cottage cheese.

      What about have it with ranch dip made with non-fat sour cream?

      a.) Less peanut butter (I make sure it just fills the slit, and that I don't dip it) and raisins on top! Lots of raisins! In a line so you cant see the peanut butter.
      b.) Salt
      c.) Ranch (not very healthy though..)
      d.) Cook it and add it to stews (sort of defeats the point though)

      If I'm eating raw, I want the heart of it, the lighter the color the better the taste to me. The greener outsides I use in cooking meals. It tastes better to me when it's cooked.

      Hope this helps!

      Try putting it in a frying pan. Don't add oil or anything, but maybe a little bit of garlic powder? The crisp & warmth might help. I dunno, I "fry" all of my veggies (no oil or butter or anything - they don't need it) and it makes them so much better than when they're cool :)

      Thanks! Gonna give the salsa and frying it alone a try.

      If you don't like it, don't eat it. Try PB with things you do like such as a pear or an apply. How about a PB and banana sandwich? If you force yourself to eat things you don't like, then there is a disaster waiting to happen. I use to try and force myself to eat celery, I'm happier without it unless it is in a juiced, or baked into something. There are too many other things to enjoy PB with, and it's also great all by itself.

      cook it down in a sauce
      dice in up into a salsa

      If you dont like celery, why eat it? There are tons of other veggies out there you can add into your diet in the place of celery. I think life is too short to force yourself to eat something you hate.

      I dont eat brussel sprouts but I dont see this as a problem. at all :)

      just my two cents :)

      I like celery, my kids DO NOT but 3 of my 4 will happily tuck into a bowl of celery soup. And the one that wont even try the soup doesnt notice when i slip it into currys and casseroles...shhhhhh

      Normally my kids eat it so since it was 99cents this week I bought some. They dont want it this time. Trying not to waste it.
