Re: How often do you eat a green vegetable?

For lunch daily in an egg white omelet.  Then again at dinner raw dipped in salsa.

Love veggies and have usually four different kinds a day including mini carrot sticks.

Re: How often do you eat a green vegetable?

I drink probably 4 or 5 different greens every morning in my smoothie and then other types of vegs with dinner.

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!!


 

I would love your recipe and timing.  That sounds like a great way to bake on Sunday and eat them throughout the week.  A nice, quick lunch!

Re: How often do you eat a green vegetable?

Every single day we eat a healthy salad with dinner and I always, always make a cooked vegetable with dinner also.

Re: How often do you eat a green vegetable?

I wasn't being very good about the five servings a day (and it's only what, a half cut a serving so not hard to get with a salad or two)--

 

So I started eating raw veggies at lunch. I make a small pill cup of dressing from the work fridge and open a pack of snap peas, carrots, celery, green peppers, any veg. I dip them and crunch away. I get some turkey and no bread and it's quite a filling lunch. 

 

I also juice my veggies and drink the juice instead of orange juice at breakfast. You're supposed to make it fresh every day, but I store a mason jar for two days.

Does eating the green bean casserole on Thanksgiving count?

 

OK, I do eat green peppers, romaine lettuce and cabbage.  Not a big green veggie fan here, obviously!

Re: How often do you eat a green vegetable?

There is always a salad with dinner and usually some protein.  Tonight it is roasted asparagus with an egg on top.  Sauteed spinach is my favorite vegetable and I often use it instead of rice with a stir fry.

Every single day; I snack on sugar snap peas.  I also take a special Morter supplement called Alka-Green.
