How often do you eat a green vegetable?

ECBG — Mon, 11 Apr 2016 00:23:49 GMT

Having a background in the origonal Home Economics as well as Chemistry, green vegetables provide photochemicals which are necessary to health. To get the "best" nutrients, one needs to eat "live" (not synthetic, fresh" or frozen) foods.

I almost always make a big salad. Low in calories and rich in fiber, it's the best deal going! I never serve more than one starch, although of course I love them, even though it be a vegetable, because the body stores every molecule it can't burn.

If it's not a salad, it's a steamed green vegetable or green beans.

How many green vegetables do you serve/eat each day?

I have good intentions at every meal.

Does that count?

Maybe once or twice a month (usually when I eat out).

We get 2 or 3 green veggies most days. Along with other veggie colors, 3 to 7 a day. We eat a lot of organic greens, bell peppers, tomatoes, and apples, oranges, bananas (a few) and lots of blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries (my favorite but they are expensive!)

Two servings at dinner: salad and asparagus, artichoke or sauteed spinach or kale. Sometimes we have three veg, like with sauteed mushrooms.

I also frequently have greens at lunch.

4-5 servings a day.

I just roasted aspargus, brocoli, brussels sprouts, green and yellow squash, carrots and cauliflower. I can not even guess how many pounds of vegetables it was.

I roast them and now they are ready for side dishes and salads for lunches and dinners Monday and Tues.

My DH and I eat lots of vegetables!!

At least 2x a day. I always add spinach or kale to my a.m. smoothie and have a salad for lunch every day.

almost every day, sometimes twice a day.

it is rare that a day doesnt go by that i eat a salad or leafy greens......iceburg, romaine, spring mix, arugula, or spinach.

i also try to do one green vegetable a day......usually either broccoli, green beans, peas, or brussel sprouts, cabbage, cucumbers (are they considered a green vegetable?), asparagus.

DH and I eat spinach every day. If not in salads, we add spinach instead of lettuce to sandwiches.

Twice a day. Always have a salad for lunch - with our protien for dinner always serve a salad and veggie with it.

Luckily our kids love most veggies too

I eat multiple greens every day, because I almost always have a big salad for lunch. Then of course I serve some vegetables with dinner. I've always preferred veggies to meat. When we were little, my brother and I would swap the food on our plates when mom wasn't looking. I always took his vegetables and he took my meat. As adults we still have those same preferences, lol.

Once a month- salad or broccoli.

I'd love to eat more salad but it's not really something that looks good in the grocery store. Sometimes the bagged looks better.

We don't eat enough, but there's not too many green veggies I don't like. Hubby's not convinced tho.

My ma believed the TOP items on The Food Pyramid were the most important........so we had lots of sugar and fat.

I've improved my habits.

I eat a green vegetable almost every day. I love green beans, broccolli, and cabbage and peas (if they count). I love almost all vegetables if they are cooked. I don't care for them raw as much.

I also eat lots of cooked carrots and cawliflower. We also eat spinach occasionally if it is in a recipe. I don't like plain cooked spinach.

Daily.

Vitamix smoothie with spinach. Salad for lunch. Two veggies/salad at supper, one has to be green for color balance.

We've been eating frozen cauliflower from Costco, it's 4 colors and organic. I hope they keep selling it.

Avocado is a must have on hand.
