Tips for adding more vegtables to the diet?

I make it a point to have veggies as my side dish at every meal no matterr what. I find that helps me to get my full amount in :-)

I need to add more veggies to my diet, in as convenient a way as possible and sometimes I just tire of the salad thing. A friend just suggested I add fresh spinach to vegtable soup - it cooks while you're heating the soup & adds all that extra nutrition. I liked that idea and need some more if anyone has them? Thanks!

Plan some extra time in the kitchen to prep your vegetables and have them ready when you need them. Buying them whole and prepping them on your own will save alot of money than purchasing prepackaged prepped vegetables...

I love making stir fries, that way you can go crazy on vegetables. I usually add broccoli, onion, carrot, baby corn, spinach, just whatever I fancy. They're really filling.
Also, you could try having an egg white omelette for breakfast and add tomatoes, spinach or mushrooms.
Cut up veggies like pepper & cucumber with hummus make a great snack too

Add a cup or more of raw kale or baby spinach to a fruit/yogurt smoothie in the morning! You won't even know its in there!

I worry sometimes that people think I have no veg in my diet, but my meals tend to be packed with them! Spaghetti bolognese has onions, peppers, mushrooms and tomatoes. Chilli con carne has three types of peppers. Stews have potatoes, carrots, swede, onions. Roast dinners always comes with carrots, cabbage, parsnips etc. It's just a habit you get into.

Why not make your own vegetable soups? Cook what ever you like in stock and use a hand blender. It's a great way to use them up at the end of the week when they're looking bit tired!

This, there is not a day where I don't have veggies as sides. Plus I munch on raw veggies as snacks. Carrots, cucumbers, celery ect. Create snack bags to take with you containing mixed raw veggies.

Try grilling some every now and then.

Shred zucchini and peppers into tomato sauce. Eat grilled portobellas instead of burgers. Always have broccoli, cauliflower and asparagus ready to be steamed. I made grilled romaine lettuce the other day and it was really good. If you get bored with just plain veggies throw them in a bag with marinade to spice things up. Hope this helps!

Everyone's made awesome suggestions! My last thought to include (it's implied with everyone's responses, but I don't think anyone came right out and said it yet) is to be deliberate about variety. Broccoli every day of the week is boring. As we get into the summer, there are so many beautiful ripe veggies around. Try as many as you can, even if you've never heard of them before. I just tried bok choy sauteed in a sauce that's half soy sauce, half BBQ, with a spash of OJ for good measure, and it was delicious!

When I am not in the mood for salad, I pull out a fry pan, use a little olive oil, a whole sliced onion, then plenty of mushrooms, then a pepper or garlic, broccoli or green beans, and the list continues until I like what I see. I don't usually have it with a starch but red potatoes or rice can be good with this. Sometimes I might add some canned tomatoes and sliced sun ripened tomatoes. Tastes great with grated pecorino cheese and fresh basil. This is plenty of veggies and very little calories! Hope it works for you.

grocery stores have those individual sized steamers... they are so great for on the go!

I HATE Vegetables. I did a 10 day reboot after watching the Documentary "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead" It truly changed my life. I have now discovered new vegetables that I now like, like Mushrooms, Jicama, Squash etc.

Because I am not a fan of veggies and I too get tired of eat salads, I try to add vegetables into my smoothies, I try and juice a couple times a day as well (Green Lemonade is my favorite: Kale, Spinach, Cucumber, Celery, Lemon and Apple) and I add canned pumpkin (Libby's 100% pumpkin Puree) into Chili and Spaghetti Sauces, it adds in much needed vitamins and fiber and it doesn't change the taste of the food itself.

Good Luck!
