Do you remember your mother telling you to eat your vegetables? Well, here’s the replay. You have to eat your vegetables; they are a part of a better diet while rich in nutrients and vitamins.
Check out the produce section of your grocery store. There are lots of options for salads and side dishes. Be careful what you add to your salads and sides. Some dressings and added ingredients can increase the fat and calorie content substantially.
Personally, I stay away from a lot of canned vegetables. These are typically high in sodium and other additives. There are many suitable frozen options at the store. Be careful and check the labels on your frozen choices. When you add sauces and other additives, these become less healthy. I like to stick with the basic options and dress them up myself.
I enjoy vegetables. My favorite side is asparagus. I love to place it in a covered microwave bowl with a tiny amount of olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic. In about four minutes you’ve got a great healthy side. I enjoy salads too. They’re easy to make. You can vary them up with just a few additional ingredients like a yellow pepper, cucumbers, radishes, carrots, and tomatoes.
Hummus is probably my favorite snack. You make hummus from garbanzo beans (chickpeas) which are classified as a vegetable subgroup. While I might use a Better Chip to dip, I enjoy it with sliced bell pepper, carrots, and even coin radishes.
Be creative; you have many healthy options with vegetables. Check it out. Visit the produce section at your favorite grocery store today.
