In recent years, the message about how important it is to have healthy eating habits has gained a lot of force among the population. However, Eating more vegetables is still the main unfinished business for many people.
The following tricks will help you increase your vegetable intake in a simple and palatable way (you will no longer have to face a plate full of green to reach the minimum daily amount).
Who said vegetables don't go well with breakfast? Prepare an omelette and add spinach, kale or chard. A first meal of the day that could not be healthier and more nutritious.
If you like to make your own burritos at home, use cabbage leaves to roll them instead of the typical wheat flour tortilla. Blanch them in boiling water for 30 seconds and pat dry before filling with your favorite ingredients. An excellent idea for lunch.
Have a green juice for a snack. Mix green leafy vegetables like spinach and lamb's lettuce with fruit (papaya is ideal) and a small piece of ginger. Add coconut water if you don't like it thick and a handful of crushed ice to keep it cooler during the hot months.
On weekends we tend to neglect the intake of vegetables, but it does not have to be that way. This food group also has a place in weekly rewards, such as pizzas and hamburgers. Always put some green leaves in your sandwiches and make sure that your pizzas are not only meat and sauces, but that there is also a presence of green.
