    Try cooking them in different ways. Kale chips, steamed veggies, smoothies, chop them up tiny and put it in pasta sauce or throw em in omelets.

    I refuse to drink veggies. I will not mix them in a blender.. that is just nasty.

    I eat 4 cups of veggies a day. I stir fry veggies almost every night, rather it be with chicken for fajita night or squash and onions sautéed in a pan, stuff peppers, sauté cauliflower broccoli and carrots, or boil carrots, make salads, or veggie casserole zucchini tomatoes and onions, steam broccoli, crockpot with potatoes/carrots/onions, celery and beef for pot roast. And the celery is great with peanut butter on it or cream cheese.

    And kale is nasty and is outlawed in my house. I made a soup with it in it, and it not only looked nasty, the texture was nasty and did not do anything for tasted of the soup. The next night tried a salad and it was like over peppered tough to chew lettuce.

    Get creative with your veggies and spice them up with garlic, use onions and different spices.

    To each their own Gia :) Kale chips with a little salt and garlic are delicious! Roasted veggies are great too.

    Do some searching for uses for cauliflower and zucchini. Pizza crust. Chips. Mashed "potatoes." Grilled cheese. It sounds so incredible, I really can't wait for these things to be in season again.

    I just made a corn and black bean "meatloaf" that honestly would have been even better with spinach, onion and peppers, but I didn't have those (woe). Broccoli and cheese is an A+ low-carb snack and you can even make it into a nugget (pulse in food processor with enough egg to hold together, roll in breadcrumbs, bake or fry.)
