Tips on Getting Enough Vegetables

If you notice you need to eat more vegetables then figure out some vegetables you like and make them part of the meal. Don't worry about the limited selection; if you have at least three or four choices you should do okay.

A great idea is to prepare a large salad ahead of time and enjoy it for several days in a row. Keep in mind lemon juice will help preserve it an extra day or three. Remember to not put in any kind of dressing and croutons, as one will cause the salad to wilt faster and the croutons will become soggy quickly.

Carrot and celery sticks may sound cliche, but they are easy to prepare and taste good even without dips. They can also be combined with peanut butter for a rather nice pick-me-up.

If you eat a lot of ramen, add in some chopped vegetables. Not only does it stretch out the meal but makes it healthier as well.

Supplemental vitamin pills can give you all of the vitamins you need, but you may want to keep in mind that there are good psychological reasons for chewing up your foods that even chewable pills don't provide. As such only take supplements when absolutely necessary.
