Vegetable challenge?

Posts: 67
I'm getting some veggies in my day, but not as many as I'd like, and I see that this is true for some of my friends as well. Is anyone interested in doing a 5-serves-a-day vegetable challenge with me? I'd like to start on Saturday, and keep going for a month - hopefully it will be a habit after that!

Me! definitely.I tend to eat way more fruit than veggies because i have such a sweet tooth :blushing: but i've been trying to incorporate more veggies i like zuchinni/carrots etc.. and it would be interesting to see if i could do it! As we are already friends,at the end of each day from Saturday,I'll write in my status how many portions of veggies I've had
great idea!0 -

I would really like to try this too, but I need some more ideas for delicious veggies. I think I get burnt out too quickly. Also what constitutes a serving?0

me me! I'll do it with you. I'm always trying to find excuses to eat more vegetables :-) How does it work? Should we report back on this post as to how many servings we've had?0

sounds like a great challenge! I hardly get any veggies in so this will be interesting!0

Here's a site that outlines what a 'serve' is: http://www.gofor2and5.com.au/WhatisaServe/tabid/56/Default.aspx
And yes, if people are keen, let's post here how many servings we manage - it's up to you whether you want to do it daily or give an update every few days etc - and definitely feel free to share recipes, too! It's winter here, so I'll probably do some veggie soups, but I also tend to put a lot of veggies in mince-based dishes or casseroles, eat them steamed, or raw with dips like hummus.0 -
I would like to do this.0

It would not be fair for me to participate since I ONLY EAT VEGETABLES, whole grains and fruit. :-) Recipes? Google vegetarian recipes and go to work. They are out there by the millions.0

I drink a green smoothie everyday! It is your favorite green leafy veggie with your fruit blended together with water. My favorite veggies are spinach & kale. But there are many!
Here are some recipes if you decide to add one to your diet.
