5 WAYS TO INCORPORATE MORE VEGETABLES INTO YOUR DIET
By Chioma Onwutalobi
CHOOSE THE
TASTIEST ONES
Don’t let brussel sprouts
fool you, not all vegetables
taste that bad! You can get
started by incorporating
tastier vegetables into your
everyday meals - tomatoes,
peppers, onions or garlic,
the choices are endless.
EXPERIMENT
Instead of steaming, why not
try sautéing or roasting your
vegetable of choice? This way
it is nice and crunchy when
you chew. Roasting some
vegetables will draw out their
natural sugars making them
more tasty. You can also
try mashing vegetables like
broccoli or cauliflower.
ADD TO YOUR
FAVOURITE DISH
Try using vegetables as a
side, or mixing them into
your favourite meals like
pasta or rice & stew. You
can blend more veggies
into your soups and sauces,
like tomato sauce and
bolognese, increasing your
vegetable intake without
ruining the overall taste of
the dish.
GO ALL OUT
Over time you will begin to
enjoy vegetables more, and
placing a salad at the centre
of your meal won’t seem as
daunting as it does right now.
Try adding some cheese, oil
or a good dressing to mix
things up. If you can’t escape
your meats, you can add
some chicken or fish to really
set things off. Bon Appétit!
DRINK THEM
This can be one of the
tastiest ways to eat
vegetables. Turn your
greens into a veggie
smoothie, and add some
of your favourite fruits.
The sweetness of the fruits
will overpower the taste of
the vegetables, so you can
stay healthy and refreshed
at the same time.
