Question:
What are some ways to add vegetables to my diet?
I weigh 315lbs and 17. When I was younger I used to eat healthy daily/ But now that I'm older, I still it healthy. But, I can't eat salads. It won't stay down. I love to eat healthy and I love Fruits and Veggies. Is it nesessary to eat salads just to get nutrition?
What are some ways I can add veggies into Lunch and Dinner and snacks? I really do love veggies, I just can't eat salads.
Answers:
I don't eat salads as I find it hard to get a good dressing unless I make it.
One way I get veggies is I make a wrap with a whole grain tortilla, hummous for protein (and its yummy), chopped baby spinach, red pepper, avocado, broccoli sprouts, tomato.
Otherwise, how about
--quesadillas (lowfat cheese, spinach, fresh cilantro, other veggies u like).
--baked sweet potato
--I agree you can supplement with a green drink which is rich in nutritious sea vegetables and antioxidants
--If you eat tomato-based dishes like pasta with sauce, chilli, etc, you can add chopped spinach to that with no effect on taste, just lots of nutrition. Cooks in a minute.
--Steamed or raw broccoli, cauliflower or other veggie with your favorite lowfat salad dressing (like ranch).
Good luck, its great you are interestedi in eating healthy!!
