Vegetables are key to a balanced diet, but if you’re new to healthy eating, it can be difficult to integrate them into your meals. Once you learn the best ways to include them into your diet, healthy eating will feel so easy, you’ll wonder why you’re just starting now! Here are three ways to add more vegetables into your diet.
Smoothies
Smoothies are one of the easiest ways to ensure you get the nutrients from vegetables everyday. Blend up some greens with your favorite fruit or protein powder, and you won’t believe how many vitamins and minerals you just drank—it’s that good!
Blend Them Into Your Sauces
Another great way to sneak veggies into your meal is to blend them into your pasta sauce. You can blend up tomatoes, peppers, carrots, zucchini…the opportunities are endless. Just be sure to season well and your pasta will taste even better than before!
Meal Prep Veggie Snacks
Snacking is a great opportunity to get more veggies into your diet, but we often reach for more processed options out of convenience. To prevent this, chop up some cucumbers, celery, carrots, or whatever other veggies you like, in advance so all you have to do is get some dip and you’re set to snack!
