Don't Like Fruits & Veggies

For starters, eat the vegetables that you currently enjoy (ditch the corn and potatoes,though) while slowly trying to introduce yourself to other vegetables and textures. There's so many different types of vegetables out there, so you shouldn't have trouble finding something that you like.

Yes. Eat the veggies you like, but ditch two of the three of them....?

I don't like veggies either, but I've found using the blender to chop them into tiny pieces then cooking them into foods I like helps. I used teeny tiny broccoli instead of lettuce for taco salad last week. I also use shredded cabbage instead of lettuce for my salads.

Mangoes and Pineapples are pure sex in food form.

Carrots, Onions, Parsnip, Sweet Potato...all very good

You have to keep trying them different ways!

What do you do if you don't like fruits and veggies.
More often than not it's a texture thing as opposed to a taste thing.

Current Likes are...
Fruits: Apples, Green Grapes
Veggies: Steamed Broccoli, Corn, Potatoes (in any form)



How can I still get the nutrition when I don't like them?

Sounds like me except that I also like green beans, carrots, cauliflower, bananas, oranges, pineapple, and blueberries. I don't like anything weird like brussel sprouts or asparagus...I've tried them smothered in cheese and still hate the taste. I don't like tomatoes (not like that's weird), but I can tolerate them in a sauce or in a taco just can't eat them by itself.

You should try steamed cauliflower...to me it's kinda the same texture as broccoli.

I'm a true believer that if you can work out what the texture or taste is of something you don't like, it is very easy to work out a way to cook it so you do like it.

My BF doesn't like eggplant but i grew kilos and kilos of it this summer. We eat it almost every day and i find a way to cook it so he likes it.

A big thing for bitter tasting veggies like eggplant and zucchinis/squashes is to salt them. Leave them for a while, then rinse off the salt, then cook them till they melt in your mouth.
He also didn't like the texture of eggplant and i worked out if i pealed them they were completely different also.
While some nutrition is lost in pealing, it is far better to eat them than not at all.

Strong flavours like curry also mask the taste and then you are left more with textures which you can also hide based on how you cook them.

To up your green intake, maybe look into some green smoothies. They taste like the fruit rather than veggies depending on what you put into them.

What about making oven fries with things like sweet potato or parsnip?

What about soups?

What about 'hiding' very finely chopped vegetables in spaghetti bolognaise?

Perhaps look into what parents can do do hide vegetables for fussy kids! Some of those tips might work for you too.

Also there are lots of vegetable chocolate cake recipes. Ones for zucchini, carrot etc. All better than not eating your vegetables at all!

Honestly, if you make yourself eat something every day, eventually your taste buds will adapt.
