Make sure you swallow them when you’re done chewing.

I buy bags of mixed frozen vegetables and then mix them in to whatever I’m making for dinner. E.g. if I’m having pasta, I’ll throw some meat and veg into the sauce and serve it all on the pasta. I eat way more vegetables when it’s mixed in to the main dish, than if I have them as a side.

I don’t really use any tricks to eat more fruit. I just buy the ones I like and have them ready to snack on. I buy a lot of bananas, apples, grapes, etc that you can mostly just grab and eat as desired.

That’s the neat part, I don’t

When it’s hot I like snacking on frozen mango pieces. They sell bags of them in supermarkets. Frozen blackberries and raspberries are also great.

I also like putting vegetables into curry and soup because personally I like my ratio of solid “food” to liquid curry/broth to be higher.

I watch geezer TV and see ads for those “Fruits and Vegetables” pills. I’m not wasting my money on those! But the ads show delicious-looking fresh produce, which reminds me how good they can taste.

Eating a salad of plain dumb lettuce makes me feel like a moo-cow, so I make sure to add something like bits of apple, or grapes sliced in half, avocado, tomatoes, dried cranberries, fresh strawberries. Crumbled queso fresco or your cheese of choice, and nuts tossed in a hot pan for a minute with just a drizzle of maple syrup and cinnamon aren’t vegetables but they help a salad feel like a meal.

I like to chop and rinse a head of romaine, keep it in the fridge and toss a handful of that, a handful of “spring mix” baby greens, and a handful of baby spinach into my salad spinner, rinse it and mix it in the water, and spinspinspin it dry. Even though they’re “washed 3 times” it really freshens the flavor. And it’s fun, pushpushpushing the big button. Get a salad spinner if you don’t have one.

If baby spinach or baby kale starts to look tired, or you’re tired of it, throw it in a stew or curry, under it instead of (or under) the rice. The heat will wilt it away to practically nothing and you’ll get your nutrients.

Buying em in the first place, if I got em, I’m definetely eating it.

I make fruit a part of every breakfast. I plan the rest of my meals around veggies that are on sale. If it’s a veg I don’t really like (usually texture issues) I hide it in something. Risotto and pizza are two of my favorites.

I actually did a lot of work to figure out how to eat healthier in a more sustainable way. I wrote a spreadsheet to tally what my diet looked like and what I might be missing nutritionally, found good sources of those missing things and picked ones that I liked the taste of.

Carrots are a good source of vitamin A so I eat them pickled or in salads

Guava is a good source of potassium and vitamin C and I just eat them straight because theyre tasty.

Broccoli has vitamin C and K so I mix them into mac and cheese or eat them with spicy hummus.

Green onions have a lot of vitamin K in them so I use them in salad, on burgers, wherever you would use onions.

Jalapenoes are another good source of vitamin C so they go in salad, on sandwiches, burgers etc. anything I want to be a bit less bland.

Sweet peppers are a good source of vitamin C, are colorful and have antioxidants so I either put them in salad or eat them with hummus.

Avocadoes are a good source of healthy fat, fiber and potassium so I either eat them straight, on sandwiches, or in salads.

Frozen peaches usually have vitamin C added to them and are available when fresh peaches generally aren’t so theyre a good source of vitamin C while being tasty

Krautburgers can have shredded carrots, cabbage and mushrooms in them.

Burritos you can have tomatoes, green onion, olives, jalapenoes and beans.

Yogurt and fruit

Fruit salad

I try to sneak them in as part of other meals, even if I don’t like the vegetable. Like if I have a burrito bowl I will put carrots in it along with everything else, or a pizza I will put green peppers on it along with pepperoni.

Fruits I don’t do as well on, if I get frozen yogurt I will get rare fruits like mango, and I drink fruit juice.

I try to eat a variety of foods as much as possible.

There is no trick I only eat them because it is what I like to eat. For late breakfast fruits, and for dinner a big salad, nothing in between, easy to digest, full of energy all day.

i told my girlfriend i dont get enough fruit in my diet and now she adds a bunch of fruit to every meal she makes. so awesome

Three fruits are part of my morning breakfast, along with Double Fat Plain Yoghurt, and powdered almonds and some plain cocoa powder.
