Friends don't let friends eat vegetables without butter. Use butter.0

Try some of these:
Salsa
Italian spice blend
indian curry spice
Jamaican jerk seasoning
fat free sour cream
a tbsp or two of cream of mushroom soup
parmesan or romano cheese
low fat salad dressing (reallly!)0 -
I LOVE emeril's original essence on steamed broccoli & cauliflower.... also, fat free or reduced fat parmesan is a great option! salt & pepper are also always great. I don't use butter.0

Why can't you just add some herbs and spices? That way you aren't adding anything fatty, like oil or butter.0
-
Light philadelphia with garlic and herbs - it's so good with steamed leeks, spinach, fine beans etc.
Garlic salt/Garlic pepper/Garlic granules.
Garlic olive oil (can you tell i am a huge fan of garlic-izing my veggies?)
Sauteed lean bacon or ham or some finely chopped chorizo, then mix the steamed veggies into the pan.
Chopped spring onions/scallions, sauteed in rapeseed or olive oil.0 -
butter or olive oil. Just a bit goes a long long way and healthy fats are good for you.0

I always put salsa on mine. And if you don't like spicy food, you can buy the mild kind(:0

You could try like reduced fat cheeses? Or different spices. They usually don't have lots of calories if any. Garlic, onion powder, etc. I use sea salt and pepper sometimes. Certain vegetables are good sweetened, such as peas or corn, and I used to add sugar, so maybe like a low calorie sweetener such as splenda.0 -
I use stinky cheese. (grated parmasean)0

Low carb, you can saute' in olive oil. Good heart healthy oil and omega 3's.0

This.
I toss mine in coconut oil, just a little, and then toss them in chili pepper, cayenne, salt, and pepper and roast them. OMG delicious.0 -
Also try mixing your cooked vegetables into an egg white omlette? The whites are fat free and super low calorie...with some reduced fat cheese melted in? Thats a whole meal and healthy too0

I LOVE the laughing cow cheese wedges with carrots. I get the plain light swiss one for carrots, and sometimes switch it up and get the light blue cheese one for celery and broccoli. They're only 35 calories each and a little goes a long way.0

Olive oil, okay. But since when does butter have healthy fats in it? Just one tablespoon has 7 grams of sat. fat in it...your daily intake should be no more than 10!0 -
Garlic Powder, sea salt, cracked pepper! Or just HOT SAUCE! Great for the metabolism.0
-
I like the low fat cheeses too, any kind of light cream cheese makes a lovely sauce for pasta or veggies, and is super easy, just melt it in the pan )0
-
I mix a little Philadelphia Cooking Creme into mine. They have several flavors and it is delicious. Doesn't take much.0
-
I can't believe it's not butter spray!!0
-
SALSA!!!!! It bumps up the nutrition and flavor!!! But be careful with the high sodium content!0
-
I use salt and blaack pepper, in fact the second helps slimming. But I can't have asparagus, unless they are combined with my own homemade mayonnaise, same goes with green beans. If you go into my diary you can check how many calories it has.0
