If you feel you’re lacking some essential greens and vitamins in your diet, you may not be eating enough vegetables. If you’re not a fan of veggies, there are some sneaky ways to get them in that you might enjoy. Keep reading for a few tips and tricks for consuming more veggies throughout your day.
Pea Protein Powder
Most people do not get enough protein or veggies in their diet. Proper protein and veggie intake is paramount to health and recovery, especially if you are an active individual. Try adding more protein and veggies into your diet by blending plant based protein supplements into smoothies, yogurts, and baked goods. Many plant based powders on the market offer a daily dose of protein plus a dose of healthy greens with essential vitamins.
Veggie Pastas
Instead of mainstream pasta, opt for veggie-based pastas that have servings of veggies in them or are made of higher protein vegetables such as lentils and chickpeas. These pastas are not only higher in protein, but have more fiber and veggies that will keep you regular and help increase your veggie consumption.
Soups
Lastly, veggies are delicious when blended into hearty soups such a minestrone or chicken noodle. Warm soup is an added comfort that will provide all kinds of essential vitamins, and will help you stay hydrated during cold and flu season.
