Sneaky Ways to Add Green Leafy Veggies

 

Here’s a fact:  even if you love green veggies, it can be hard to get the suggested amount (2 to 3 cups a day).

 

And that’s a shame, because green veggies are packed with vitamins, minerals, and plant compounds that your body needs to function at its very best.

 

If this is something you struggle with, I’ve got some easy ideas to help you ramp up your veggie intake:

 

  1. Chop them into tiny bits

… and stir them into scrambled eggs, soups, potatoes, casseroles, etc. When they are minced, you barely notice them!

 

  1. Add them to every meal … one meal at a time ... yes, even breakfast

Start by finding ways to add them to the easiest meal (probably dinner), and then when you master that, move on to another meal.

 

  1. Be intentional about it

Decide it’s not a balanced meal if it doesn’t contain green veggies, and then get on it!

 

  1. Make them tasty

Experiment with adding sauces and spices to your green veggies.  This makes a huge difference!  I cook them in butter and bacon fat ... just sayin'.

 

  1. Be sneaky

Try adding carrot or pumpkin puree, spinach, and/or mushrooms to your burgers or meatloaf.
