Ways to get Vegetables in when you don't like them or are sick of them!

Hey guys so I think today's post is gonan be a GREAT one for you guys... I know the power of veggies so I complied a three part list of my favorite tips, recipes, and products to get your veggies in especially if your sick of them or don't like them~

Tips:

1. Sneak them in other foods. Below I have recipes for getting veggies in your oatmeal, pancakes, pasta, pizza and more! This is an easy you to eat them, you can't taste them and it adds volume.

2. Have green smoothies, You can't taste it especially if you add frozen banana and/or protein powder. Also more than greens you can freeze zucchini (cut in up first) and add it to your smoothie and it makes it super creamy. Raw cocoa also totally cuts the flavor.

3. Find a recipe or vegetable you like. Try the different recipes and variety of vegetables. For instance, mushrooms and broccoli taste TOTALLY different. So try a few and when you find a kind you like stick with it. Your body will begin to crave the nutrients in it and then slowly start branching out.

4. Add fat. Fat actually helps you absorb the nutrients in your veggies too! Plus, it add lots of flavor. I always add fats to a big plate of veggies (well, usually not perfect;). Some good  ones are avocado, coconut shreds, cashew based dressing, sunflower seeds, tahini, etc.

5. Use a green powder. I have great one's below and more information below but thinks helps alkalize your body a lot! This really made a difference in my health.

Recipes:

1. Zoats... You can't even taste it.. Zuchinni in oatmeal:)- This recipe has more add-ins but you don't need it!:)

2. Spinach in Pancakes.. Again except for the color you can't taste it!

3. Zuchini Noodles.. Are so good you wouldn't even know!

4. Cauliflower Pizza Base (Vegan).... SO GOOD!

5. Green Smoothies:)!!! ( This is my favorite way!)


Green  Vegetable Powders:

~I love these . It really helps alkalize your body, because you get the most high quality greens that you'd never it. Quality and Sourcing is super important so here's my favorite... If you want to use the coupon here's the code: RQANXY ($$ off and free shipping on all orders) if you can want to use it:)

1. Vitamineral green. BEST product in the world.  I talk about how it literally got me in to health and helped me reverse pretty serious conditions in this post so I won't repeat it and bore you...:)
Get it here SO amazing:::: Link here.

 

 

 

 

 2. Chlorella.. Is AMAZING for detoxing heavy metals. It will definitely help with cleansing and alkalizing as well.
Here's my favorite and cheapest: Link here.

3. Last but not least... Chlorophyll... I find this is really great for people who don't eat that pure of a diet and/or need helping 'moving things along'. Or just to get some more chlorophyll in your diet.

Favorite and best tasting: Link here. (*they have pills and tinctures to just put in search bar)

*** With all green supplements START SUPER SMALL AND BUILD UP.. They can be very cleansing for some people and to much to soon can really not make you feel good!***


I hope this helped, I tried to compile the best stuff I could. What do you do to get more veggies in?

Food is Medicine...Foods with cool nutrients...

Here are some foods with cool properities... Food really is medicine and I'll show you that here!!!
                                     

1. Pineapple... An amazing fruit... I LOVE pineapple. Did you know pineapple has an enzyme in it called bromelien that helps you digest protein. If you are on a high protein diet or just feel bloated try adding some pineapple in your day see if it helps.
Tip: If it hurts your mouth try blending it!
Ways to use it: In smoothies with greens, coconut, banana. In salads with some nuts and seeds. On its own. With a couple tablespoons of coconut oil or butter.

                                                  

2. Cilantro... Is great for detoxing heavy metals.  Which is so cool you feel cleaner inside when you regularly add fresh herbs to your diet. Also, it helps your skin, bonus!
Ways to use it: Guacamole!!!, Salad, Green Smoothies, Juices, Wraps

                                              

3. Coconut.... Has something called MCT's which is Medium Chain Triglycerides which help metabolism. Coconut also is not digested like most fats, science is starting to show it digests more like a carb.
Ways to use it: Coconut butter with fruit, Coconut oil can really go on Anything (I prefer butter or shreds for fiber and closer to whole food), Shreds as a cereal or on fruit or cereal, Coconut water after exercise...Great electrolytes.

                                                           

Here are three if you like this I'll do more later!
Do you use any of these foods?
Have a great day!!!

Cheesy Vegan Cinnamon Bean Dip. #strangebutreallygood

Here is an awesome recipe. Great post workout. High protein: Feed muscles. Filling: So you don't binge cuz your starving after leg day. Love this so much.

Cheesy Cinnamon Bean Dip:
-1c Beans. (Fiber, Resistant Starch, Protein)
-1/4-1/2c Nutritional Yeast (B12, Protein)
-Cinnamon (just a dash or it will be weird tasting) (Blood Sugar Balance)
-Flax Seeds (Digestion, Omega 3's) (If you are using this recipe after lifting just use a little flax cuz you don't want to much fat in your post workout meal so that can be changed:) ~Also I linked it to sprouted flax cuz that's easier to digest but you can use regular~
-Opts: Stevia or Almond Milk.

Mash all together. If you like it sweeter add the stevia and almond milk. If you want it cheesier add nutritional yeast.
It's so good. I served mine with romaine hearts and rolled them up like tacos, but if you want something even more filling can serve with ezekial bread, pita, corn tortilla chips, etc. :)

If you need the ingredients Pure Forumals has them... I just really like this site as you can see lol!:) So cheap! I linked it to the site you can use my cupon code if you want to! Code: RQANXY ($5 off, free shipping on every order no matter price, samples)

Juicing.?

 

So I wanted to make a post on one of my favorite but things: juice. No not odwalla but fresh veggie juice yummers(if made right). But I also want to address something I’m seeing come up on the blogosphere. Juicing is not a cure all. Not to be made into a weight loss new diet fad. It’s about  juicing for how much you love the taste and the way it makes you feel. Yes juice is extremely healthy one of the best things you can do but don’t juice because it’s the new “health” craze. Do it because you FEEL the healthy! So hold off before you juice fast Im beginning to feel like beloved juice is just another way to lose weight, fall into an eating disorder, or that horrible restrictive mindset. I'll do a post on why science shows you shouldn't do a cleanse like that (With the exception of medical purposes). Don’t restrict. Enjoy. Use juicing don’t let it dominate you. Juicing is so brilliant. Without further ado here are my favorite recipes by far:

Brocco-brilliance:

2-3 broccoli stems

1/2-1 Celery

1/2-1 Fennel

Spinach

Zucchini

Bit Stevia.  would be so brilliant with a little mint extract too;).

Yum!!!!

Green roots:

3-5 carrotts

Spinach

Zucchini

Romiane.

Bit Stevia. Would be brilliant with a little cinnamon.

Yum! And totally Dr.Norman walker approved (check out his brilliant books!). The reason I use zucchini is it adds a lovely creaminess to it!

 

 

Benefits:

 

- Helps immensely with digestion

- Hits the bloodstream seamlessly

-TONS of vitamins and minerals

-Helps cravings

-Easy way to get veggies in

Don't juice a ton of fruit that's just a little to quick for the sugar to hit the bloodstream. 'Juice the veggies, Eat the Fruit.' :)

 

With Healthy Fat, Fiber and Carb makes an AMAZING meal!

 

What’s your favorite juice?

On a side note, what would you like to see on the blog?
