Not a fan of greens? No worries. Here’s how to pack in the nutrients without feeling like a rabbit.
Blend Them into Smoothies (You Won’t Taste Them, Promise)
Smoothies are one of the easiest ways to pack in extra veggies without changing the flavor. Spinach and kale blend seamlessly into fruit smoothies, adding nutrients without the bitterness. You can also toss in frozen cauliflower or zucchini. They make your smoothie thicker and creamier without any weird taste!
Try this: Blend a banana, handful of spinach, your milk of choice, peanut butter, and a scoop of protein powder. You’ll never know the greens are there, and it is so delicious!
Hide Them in Sauces & Soups
Pasta night? Sneak extra veggies into your marinara by blending in carrots, bell peppers, or even butternut squash. The natural sweetness balances the acidity of tomatoes and makes for an even richer, more delicious sauce. Soups and stews are also prime hiding spots for extra veggies. Pureed sweet potatoes or cauliflower add creaminess without dairy.
Try this: Blend cooked carrots and zucchini into your spaghetti sauce. Bonus: It’s picky-eater approved!
Pack Them into Your Breakfast
Breakfast is an underrated opportunity to sneak in some extra greens. Scramble eggs with spinach, blend sweet potatoes into pancakes, or add shredded zucchini to oatmeal (yes, really - it makes it extra thick and hearty).
Try this: Make a veggie-packed omelet with mushrooms, spinach, and tomatoes, or toss some riced cauliflower into your morning scramble.
Upgrade Your Snacks
Swap chips for veggie-based alternatives like roasted chickpeas, kale chips, or bell pepper slices with hummus. If you love dips, mix finely chopped spinach or shredded carrots into guacamole or yogurt-based dips for an easy veggie boost.
Try this: Swap crackers for cucumber slices with hummus or cream cheese—same crunch, extra nutrients!
