If you don’t like vegetables, find MORE unique ways to sneak them in to your diet.
Do you find it easier to scrub the toilet than get all 5 of your recommended servings of veggies throughout the day? If so, you may need to get creative with how you include vegetables along with your normal meals.
Main Course
If you know up front that you, or someone in your household, just can’t manage to force down plain veggies, steaming up a pot of bitter vegetables like broccoli and throwing it on a plate might not be your best bet. Try these tips instead:
(1) Add lettuce and tomato to all of your burgers and sandwiches.
(2) Ask the pizza place to toss some mushrooms and green peppers onto your Friday night splurge.
(3) Pass up on the occasional muffin, and choose zucchini bread instead.
(4) Substitute a yummy sweet potato for your typical rice or pasta side dish.
(5) Dice or mince some green veggies (spinach, green pepper, broccoli, etc.) into your meat loaf before you run it in the oven. You won’t even be able to taste it…I promise!
Dessert
For many people, vegetables are an acquired taste. This is why it’s important for parents to find creative ways to include veggies in the meals they fix for their kids. A child who is never fed veggies, is very likely to grow into an adult who avoids them at all costs.
