Eat Your Vegetables Challenge (BHL Challenge Week 4)

Here we are starting the last week of the Better Healthy Living Challenge.  Week 4 challenge is all about veggies!

The goal this week is to try a new veggie and/or up your veggie servings.  Try for 5-7 servings or more a day.

Do you struggle to eat your vegetables?  I know I don’t eat near enough!

Here’s one of my favorite quotes:

Go vegetable heavy. Reverse the psychology of your plate by making meat the side dish and vegetables the main course.
Bobby Flay

Here are some ways to get in more vegetables:

1. Add veggies to smoothies
2. Start juicing
3. Grill your veggies (outdoor grilling ideas)
4. Add a variety of veggies to omelets or scrambled eggs
5. Add veggies to regular or cooked sandwiches or use them as fries!  I love homemade carrot and sweet potato fries. Yum!
6. One thing I am working on is prepping veggies to have ready in the fridge throughout the week (carrot sticks mostly).  Having veggies cleaned and ready to consume makes it a lot easier.
7. Eating canned and frozen veggies won’t hurt ya.  I always rinse any canned veggies but sometimes it’s just easier to eat canned or pop a bag of frozen veggies into the microwave.

Here are a few great blog posts about how to get more veggies into your life.  I have shared these on the blog before but they are worth repeating.
