So You Don't Like Veggies?

Healthy Food Bytes: So you don’t like veggies?

Simple tips to help you expand your palate for veggies.

Eating more veggies couldn’t be easier.

To make your veggies taste better and make them more interesting, try different spices and sauces such as red pepper flakes, soy sauce, or a little sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. You can also combine other flavorful veggies and sauté green beans for example, with onions, bell peppers and fresh garlic. Also, don’t overcook your veggies. This zaps the life out of them therefore killing vital enzymes and nutrients. Your veggies should be crisp and colorful after lightly cooking them.

Try new veggies often and experiment with them in various ways. You may not like raw cabbage in a salad, but you may like it slightly sautéed with a little Asian flavored sauce. (check previous blog entries for recipes). Blend veggies into soups – carrots and butternut squash are particularly good in soups -makes the broth thicker too. Have you tried canned pumpkin in a waffle mix? Delicious! I’ll post the recipe later as Fall approaches us.

Keep trying at least a taste of veggies at each meal. You may be surprised that after a few times you will acquire a taste for it.
