Hi everyone! I have been working on losing weight for the past two years now. My eating habits have changed tremendously. The only thing that I seem to have a problem with is eating enough veggies. I have no problem with other healthy snacks and supplements. Any suggestions on green vegetables or any other that gives you plenty of energy? Thanks! :huh:

    I adore kale, collards and brussel sprouts. Recently I've been making kale chips. You put them on a baking sheet and drizzle a little olive oil and salt, bake at 350 and turn every 10 minutes until crispy. Yummy !

    Well this is not a "green" veggie -- I love to take an eggplant and cook it until the skin is all burned up (on the grill or on my gas stove -- got to have it standing "up" as long as possible!) and its very soft; and then remove the insides and mix up with chopped tomato, jalepeno, green onion, cumin powder, salt and pepper. Totally delicious by itself or on on crackers, etc.

    I keep baby carrotts, tomatoes and sugar snap peas in my fridge at home and at my office. When it comes to cooking, I frequently do steamed broccoli, seared asparagus and sauted squash and zucchini. Salads are an easy way to incorporate lots of veggies, too. I like a salad with romaine lettuce, some fresh spinach, grape tomatoes, diced cucumber, grilled chicken, chopped pecans or walnuts and a raspberry vinaigrette.

    Raw sugar snap peas and broccoli as dippers for hummus. I add spinach to my sandwiches instead or lettuce. Love asparagus. Kale chips are another fav - my daughter and I burn our fingers on the pan eating them as soon as they get out of the oven. We sprinkle sesame seeds on ours.
