Vegetables_*^
Hey Y'all! I was just wondering if any people have food ideas that include vegetables or just how to eat more vegetables and fruits!
@RainySummerDays
theres a girl on *** that started ''dinosaur time'' where she takes a handful of lettuce and just shoves it in her mouth to get it over with lol
lots of people have found that its an easy way to get vegetables in without making a salad
I put spinach and tofu in my smoothies sometimes.
@RainySummerDays My favorite way to eat more veggies is to cut them very thin either by hand or with a mandolin and put my fav salad dressing on it, add some cheese, and a protein like chicken or steak and a hard boiled egg (boiled for 12 minutes if you don't like a runny yolk). It tastes super yummy and you get your veggie, protein and dairy intake all in one!! For fruits, I add some cut up fruit to oatmeal or yogurt with a little bit of Nutella or honey on top and it's super good! It's great if you have a sweet tooth like me!

ive been buying these pickles (clauson is the brand) and they are to die for
then when I eat all the pickles I put baby carrots in the jar and make PICKLED CARROTS
they are great
What do pickled carrots taste like???
You can make salads with lots of colors. An example I like is: a whole boiled egg with lettuce, cilantro, red onion, tuna, and tomato with extra-virgin olive oil or sunflower oil. Then, to eat fruit, you can make a fruit smoothie, like a banana and milk smoothie, fruit with a little bit of sugar, and low-calorie sugar, both for breakfast and as a snack.

when all else fails, cheese. 😂
i eat brussel sprouts with tiny bits of bacon and sprinkled cheese and it's very nice but i imagine there's tons of creative recipes out there. a lot of it is all about how you cook them
I love putting them in a soup
- putting fresh vegetables on pizza or in pasta or an omelette
- smoothies if they're your thing
- putting them in fajitas if u like spicy food
I try to just add vegetables to as many meals as I can so it's not overloaded with vegetables but I get enough in a day
- I also love frying vegetables and seasoning them!
I sneak a lot of mine in the form of plant based protein products (powders, bars, pre-made shakes).
This isn't a meal idea but maybe if you haven't yet try strawberries or cucumbers in your water it both gives a nice flavor :-)
Lemon water’s nice too.
