I.HATE.veggies

I'm very limited in the veggies I eat. To start losing weight I was eating a lot of fruit, but my weight loss has halted, I'm guessing because I get probably one serving per day. Any ideas on how to eat more veggies without making them unhealthy? No diet restrictions (such as gluten or lactose intolerance)

I love sauteed veggies! Fajitas are my favorite sautee some peppers and onions with some steak or chicken wrap it up in a whole wheat tortilla sprinkle some cheese on it and BAM! Tasty veggie heaven.

You might find that there's a lot of delicious flavor in veggies when they've been cookied in certain ways. The trick is searing/carmelizing a bit of the vegetables. Try roasting or sauteeing, and aim to have a bit of golden brown on the outside. The following tips might help toward that end:

• Start with a hot frying pan. Get the pan real hot with some oil before dropping in the veggies, so that they start cooking immediately.
• Once you've stirred it up a bit, leave it alone! Let your veggies sit in the frying pan for a couple minutes without stirring, so that they can brown a bit.
• Add onions or shallots. These carmelize very nicely and will pleasantly sweeten the rest of the dish.

Hope that helps! Even if you haven't cared for veggies in the past, it's worth seeking out some recipes and giving everything a second chance.

Here are some ideas (yes, I realize some of these are botanically fruits):

-veggie smoothies. Get greens + and add to your protein shakes

-pizza salads! Pineapple; tomatoes; olives etc. with pizza sauce

-stir fry! beansprouts, black bean sauce, waterchestnuts

-make air popped popcorn. Lower cal, higher in fibre

-try a new veggie every week; you might hate cooked aspargus, but love cooked eggplant

-cooked cauliflower. Mash it. Add a little olive oil and sea salt and lemon juice. Mmmm

-grilled carrots

-try grilling lots of veggies and find a really tasty sauce!

-if you like tomato sauce, blend up zucchini, garlic etc. and 'disguise' in the sauce

I also don't like them. So, I blend them (spinach or kale) up with berries and protein powder with almond milk. You can't even taste them.

Invest in a Ninja! Best decision I've ever made. I throw in Spinach and Pineapple usually into a blender and drink one or two smoothies per day. Any blender works just as well, but I like using the personal serving shakers they offer when I'm on the go. Definitely has helped changed my diet for the better

Search out new recipes. It may be that you just don't like these vegetables the way they've been served to you previously. I like to search on Pinterest and see what's out there. Try steaming the veggies, stirfrying them or mixing them up into a casserole. One thing I like to do is cut up peppers and scallions and whatever other veggies I have around and add them to spaghetti. Today I wrapped fish in bok choi and steamed it. 

There are also probably vegetables you haven't tried. Make it a goal to try a new one each week. I have really tried hard to expand my food repetoire. I have "discovered" parsnips, acorn squash and swiss chard, among others. 

Good luck!
