How to consume enough veggies

Here are some meal prep tips for consuming enough veggies:

Plan your meal

Start by planning your meal for the week. This will help you determine what veggies you need to buy and how much you need to prepare.

Shop for veggies

Once you have your meal plan, make a list of the veggies you need to buy. Try to choose a variety of colors and types of veggies to ensure that you are getting a wide range of nutrients.

Prep your veggies

Once you have your veggies, it's time to prep them. Wash and chop your veggies so that they are ready to use in your meal. You can store them in containers in the fridge for easy access.

Cook your veggies

Some veggies can be eaten raw, but others need to be cooked. Roasting, steaming, and sautéing are all great ways to cook veggies. Cook them in advance and store them in the fridge for easy use.

Pack your meal

Once you have your veggies prepped and cooked, it's time to pack your meal. Use containers to pack your meal and include a variety of veggies in each one.

Start with breakfast

Many people overlook veggies at breakfast, but it's a great time to get them in. Add some veggies to your omelet or smoothie, or enjoy some avocado toast with sliced tomatoes.

Snack on veggies

Instead of reaching for a bag of chips or cookies, snack on veggies throughout the day. Keep some baby carrots, cucumber slices, or bell pepper strips on hand for a healthy snack.

Experiment with new veggies 

If you're bored with the same old veggies, try something new. Visit a farmer's market or grocery store and pick up a veggie you've never tried before. You might be surprised at how much you like it.

Incorporate veggies into your favorite dishes

You don't have to eat plain steamed veggies to get your daily dose. Incorporate veggies into your favorite dishes, such as adding spinach to your pasta sauce or topping your pizza with bell peppers and onions.

Make veggies the star of your meal

Instead of thinking of veggies as a side dish, make them the star of your meal. Try a veggie stir-fry, roasted veggie bowl, or veggie-packed soup.

By following these meal prep tips, you can ensure that you consume enough veggies on a daily basis.
