USDA recommends that an average person consume between 2.5 and
3 cups of vegetables a day. Unless you are an avid fan of broccoli, this might
be a challenge.
Play hide-and-seek with vegetables by following these easy tips
from Bon’App and learn how to sneak in vegetables in your favorite meals.
Smoothie
Instead of packing raw carrots or cucumbers in your lunch
bag, blend your favorite vegetables into a fiber-rich smoothie that will keep
you energized through your next meal.
Lasagna
Transform this classic Italian fare into a
vegetable-friendly dish by layering thin slices of grilled eggplants in between
the pasta. Puree peppers, onions, or squash into the sauce for an additional
serving of vegetables.
Mac and Cheese
This ultimate comfort food can turn into something much more
than just pasta and cheese if you add in pureed carrots, sweet potatoes, or broccoli. Not only will these vegetables add more flavors, but they will also
pack in more nutrition.
Baked goods
Indulge in sweet zucchini bread without feeling guilty. Swap
the recipe with whole-wheat flour and cut back on sugar and oil to make this low
calorie, low fat, and nutritious treat.
