Veggie Ideas

Here are a few ideas of how to get more veggies into your diet:

1) When Avi is asleep, wash and cut up a ton of carrots and celery sticks, store in your fridge in water, any time you are hungry, open the fridge and grab a few sticks...you can do this with radishes as well

2) Buy lettuce and/or other greens, wash them as soon as you buy them, cut them up and store in a ziplock bag with a wet piece of paper towel, use handfuls for super quick salads, if it is chard or kale or spinach, you can cook it up in just a few minutes, cook it with VOO or coconut oil, salt & pepper. Throw it in the pan with your eggs and it will cook down perfectly

3) Batch cooking - when you have time, cook up a ton of veggies like turnips and/or cauliflower, mash it like mash potatoes and store in your fridge, this is a great way to get in a ton or veggies, replace for mashed potatoes. Cook large amounts all at once, and work your way through them throughout the week

4) Puree carrots and use it in the place of sweeteners in soups, muffins, sauces

I pretty much try to throw veggies into every meal, even breakfast.

Good luck!
