Ten Fun Ways To Eat And Enjoy Your Vegetables

These days, with the help of many fitness and healthy living trends, we appreciate how great vegetables are for our health. Still, many of us struggle with finding the motivation to eat them.

Like many children across the world, I did not like eating vegetables when I was a child. I would pick out every carrot and onion in my meal until the food became plain and almost bland. Even my mum’s staple vegetable soup was not free from my ‘pickiness’, as I would pick out all the ugu, water leaf and dried fish in the soup. By the time I was done, the bowl of steaming vegetables became a dish of coloured water and meat, all to the consternation of my mother.

Thankfully, I have outgrown that extreme dislike for vegetables. But far too many adults still struggle with eating enough ‘veggies’ as a lifestyle. These days, with the help of many fitness and healthy living trends, we appreciate how great vegetables are for our health. Still, many of us struggle with finding the motivation to eat them. You hear statements like ‘am I a goat who should be eating grass?’ to others who tirelessly complain about how bland they lack in variety.

So, because we love you so much, The Lady’s Room decided to share ten fun ways to mix up and eat more vegetables without getting tired of them. Here goes:

Salads/Snacks

Eat a lot of salads. You can snack on carrots and cucumbers in between meals. Tomatoes and lettuces are also great for salads or handy snacks. They are filling and easy enough to carry around in Ziploc bags.

Smoothies

Mix your fruit smoothies with vegetables to help you eat and enjoy less tasty veggies like beetroot and spinach. Just wash them properly, chop up, and toss into your blender or smoothie maker.

Powder and Sprinkles

Vegetable powders like Moringa can be sprinkled on your meals like salt or pepper. You can also use shredded and dried vegetables as sprinkled additions to your soups and salads.

Soups, Sauces, and Dips

You can chop your vegetables and add to your soups and sauces, or purée them for dips. Tomatoes and avocados are perfect for dips, and also provide a good base for many sauces.

Stir fry

Whether it’s in noodles, pasta, or rice; stir fry gives variety to all your favourite carb-heavy dishes while sneaking in all the healthy veggies.

Omelette

Eggs generally go well with veggies—from tomatoes and onions, to spinach and even ugu. Omelette is an easy way to make veggies more tolerable or even enjoyable.

Wraps

You can make vegetable stir fry as a filling for pancakes or pita wraps, or you can use vegetables such as lettuce to wrap whatever kind of fillings you like.

Baking

Carrot cakes are a staple for many families. You can also make pies, quiches, cakes, and even muffins using veggies.

Stuffing and Kebabs

You can try green peppers, peas, and sweet corn as a stuffing for your fish. Birds and fish go very well with vegetable stuffing. Kebabs also go nicely with veggies like green pepper and tomatoes.

Sandwiches and Burgers

Veggies like lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, and onions are healthy and tasty additions to burgers and sandwiches.

So there they are. Feel free to experiment with more recipes and share with us.

Enjoy your yummy veggies.

"The skin care industry has started another worryi "The skin care industry has started another worrying trend. There are young girls buying birth control pills prescribed to them by skin care “experts” to cure hormonal acne. It is true that there are certain birth control pills help with acne but please, it is only a gynecologist that can prescribe birth control for you. When I started on birth control two years ago because of heavy periods and PMS, the doctor conducted a number of tests on me." Lizzy Temisan Link in bio..

The pressure to be, show up and perform. No matter how big or small your following is. I loved all of it. But at a point, it got exhausting. You put out more and more, and you feel less and less creative, and then you burn out. Sometimes we don’t realize it, but we need a social media break." @ellapinkette Link in bio.

I still remember the pink and white knitted shawl wrapped around her. She was so tiny. My mum would ask me to watch over her as she did chores. In a way, I have been watching over my sister since then." Lizzy Temisan Link in bio.

It exists across all relationships & even our friends and colleagues can provide a form of informal mentorship. It doesn’t have to be strict or formal, but you need to have a way to draw from the people who have gone ahead of you in the areas you aspire towards. We've shared ways to help you get the attention and commitment of a potential mentor." Link in bio.
