Easy Ways To Include More Vegetables In Your Diet

Vegetables should always be a staple of your diet if you are aiming to eat as healthily as possible, but it’s fair to say that it can be tricky to figure out how to include more vegetables in your diet. Fortunately this guide contains some of the easiest, most effective ideas that you can pursue to start eating more vegetables in no time at all, so what are you waiting for? Read on to discover some of the best tips and tricks that can aid you with improving your diet today! 

Make Salads More Fun 

 

When you think of a salad, do you picture an array of green vegetables that looks similar to a bowl of garden clippings? Then it’s no wonder that you would choose to avoid a salad with all of your might! It’s vital that you can take the opportunity to make salads more fun if you’re going to stand any chance of achieving success in your efforts to eat more vegetables, as a salad is no doubt one of the easiest ways for you to eat as many as 5-6 different vegetables at one time.

The main thing that you need to focus on when you’re building a great salad that is rich in vegetables and in flavor is to create layers. The first layer should be a leaf of some kind which makes up the bulk of your salad, perhaps some iceberg lettuce or some spinach, and you should aim to include another layer that adds color and texture. This layer should be the one that you use to experiment with different vegetables, as you can add tomatoes, avocado, corn, radishes, beetroot and so much more! The list of vegetables that you can add to a salad is truly endless, and there’s nothing to say that your salad has to be cold – if you want to cook up some tender stem broccoli or enjoy some steamed cabbage, then this is more than ok. The next layer of your salad that can help to add masses of flavor and texture should be your protein, such as chicken breast, beans or fish, as this will help to keep you fuller for longer and make your salad more appetizing too. Don’t forget about finishing touches like drizzles and dressings or croutons, as these last minute additions can make a world of difference! 

Try Some Sweet Vegetable Treats 

It’s important to note that you don’t have to like savory flavors to enjoy eating vegetables, as there are many sweet vegetable treats that you might never even imagine were crammed full of vitamins and minerals! For example, you can find a recipe for zucchini bread covered in chocolate chips, or even create your own carrot cake for the perfect desert. You can make beetroot or kidney bean brownies and so much more, so why not indulge in something sweet while still gaining the benefit of eating your 5-a-day! 

Including more vegetables in your diet has never been such a simple task!
