MORE VEGGIES! How can I get more?

I just watched a movie called, "Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead." The man on the movie fasts for 60 days and only drinks juice comprised of several vegetables and fruit. My husband the other day made a juice with a large amount of various vegetables, an apple, an orange, and a lemon. I was terrified to try it because I don't care for too many vegetables either. Surprisingly, it was delicious! The citrus fruits masked the horrible vegetable taste. Juicing allows you to eat several vegetables at once without having to sit there and actually eat each one.

Try baking them or putting them in stir fries!

I love zucchini fries, baked breaded mushrooms and onion rings! SO DELICIOUS

or in a stir fry put them in as your veggies! as well as force yourself to have a small green salad at dinner on the side!

This is a total cop-out to the major fitness Nazi's and health nuts out there, but I drink V8 juices now.
I tried forcing down all those disgusting veggies but just couldn't any longer.

Now, in one swift gulp, I get 2 whole servings.
I'll take that 4 times per day and call it x-mas.

Look up healthy carrot or zucchini breads or muffins. It can be a sweet treat and a veggie.

I always put a bag of baby carrots and snap peas in my lunch. It gives me 2 servings of veggies at lunch and a lot of fiber to get through the afternoon.

Bumping for later! I need help on this to!! :flowerforyou:

Personally, I add vege's to my salad's. I like lentils and chick peas the most, but have eaten more than that. Bean soup is loaded with protein.

I LOVE vegetables. There are hardly any that I don't like, in fact. But I still drink V8 several times a week. It tastes good, takes the edge off if I get hungry before lunch time and, as you point out, contains 2 servings of vegetables. (plus I really hate smacking myself in the head)

There are some really great ideas on here.

I also love making a huge batch of veggie chilli (the hotter the better) and throw lots of different veggies in (celery, peppers, onions, mushrooms, sweet potato, tomatoes, beans, carrots -as well as quorn mince).

The heat of the chilli disguises the veggie tastes (especially the celery which I can't stand on its own).

V8 splash taste like fruit juice but it also has veggies.

I sneak veggies in on my kids in weird ways.... when I cook taco's I put chopped squash in the meat, you never taste it. I add shredded zucchni to pasta dishes, just cut it long like noodles, I puree cauliflower with laughing cow cheese to make cheesy "potatoes", I mix broccoli and cheese with whole wheat rotini for mac'n cheese, I use butternut squash in recipes that use sweet potatoes and I add spaghetti squash to a lot of pasta dishes too. You can't taste spinach in smoothies; celery/carrots will bulk up soup recipes and you can cover ANYTHING with cheese and make it yummy

My favorite veggies are cucumbers with vinegar, baked (without salt) butternut squash, and I make my own tomato sauce, with no added salt, instead of using ketchup. Roasted asparagus with balsamic vinegar, a little bit of salt, and some olive oil is great too. Kale chips are AMAZING! Coat the kale with some olive oil and a little bit of salt and spread them out in a single layer in a dark pan. Roast for about 10 minutes until edges are golden brown. Sweet potato fries are also fantastic! You can make them with garlic and rosemary, or with cumin, curry powder, and smoked paprika.

I buy every veggie in the supermarket! One thing I find really good and easy are packs of stirfrys - at Asda, 3 packs for £2.50. It's a good mix of chopped veggies, but instead of stir frying them, I steam them for 3 minutes. Goes with everything!

One of the things that I do especially if I am relying on a Lean Cuisine or WW frozen meal - is I dump the contents on top of a bed of baby spinsh or mixed greens it is quite delish and I get a ton of veggies in!!!

^^FANTASTIC IDEA!!

I'm telling you.. green smoothies! Look at the link I posted earlier & add those greens to a shake. You will NOT taste them! I promise! :flowerforyou: You can add all kinds of things you don't like and you wont taste it!

I get a lot of vegetables in my basket from my local farmer, so much so, I don't know what to do with them. I started canning some, like beets with dill. I realized that making a salad topped with chopped beets create a much lower caloric salad dressing. I stopped adding olive oil after that.

When vegetables start getting too ripe for my taste, I roast some and boil some then blend them together to make a vegetable velouté (soup). It makes a lot so I freeze them in Mason jars for a rainy day. You can add silken tofu to make it creamier without adding cream. What's great about soups like these, you can add vegetables you don't like and you won't taste them if you add a lot of the ones you do like!

Vegetables I have added to my velouté (not all at the same time).
Roasting them develops flavor. I like adding squash in all my soups, it is a natural sweetener.
brocoli
caulifower
spinach
butternut squash (roast them first)
delicata squash (really sweet when roasted)
carrots
peppers (Capsicums)
herbs
sun dried tomatoes (boil them first, its a burst of flavor!)
ginger root
Kale
beets (it doesn't make the color very appealing though)
Zucchini
