How often do you eat a green vegetable?

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.
