Vegetables are an important part of maintaining proper nutrition. They can contribute to maintaining a healthy weight, and they can reduce the risk of stroke, heart disease and some cancers. Here are 7 creative ways to get more veggies into your diet:
- Make a "pasta" dish with spaghetti squash instead of noodles.
- Instead of cheese and meat, add onions, mushrooms, and green peppers to your omelet.
- Add chopped spinach to meat when preparing hamburgers with ground turkey.
- Puree cooked vegetables and add them to stews and soups.
- Baking? Add shredded carrots to muffins or bread.
- Try mashed cauliflower instead of mashed potatoes.
- Use chunky salsa in place of sugary condiments (BBQ sauce, ketchup) and high-fat dips.
