you know I always get this question how

do I get all these vegetables in my body

in this video I’m going to create a

whole bunch of ideas on how to be

creative in getting all the vegetables

in your body and making them less boring

so number one is the kale shake as you

may already know on my website I’m

really big on kale why because it has

the most nutrition of any vegetable on

the planet has per cup it’s like 35

thousand international units of vitamin

A a lot of potassium and so if you just

take kale and fruit blend it you can

drink your vegetables okay so that would

be number one then number two we can

actually cut down the salad now what I

have is I salad cutter and what you can

do is you can actually take the amount

of greens that you have now just so you

know I consumed a lot of greens you do

not have to do all these greens in one

sitting but this is just what I do so

I’ll have the salad cutter you can get

at the store and you basically just cut

it down into very small little pieces so

you it makes it easier to break down and

digest and eat and then what I do is I

had a whole bunch of stuff on it and

then I actually had some salad dressing

I like the Newman’s Own ranch dressing

because it’s pretty good it’s there’s no

MSG there’s no extra sugar it’s very

easy I’ll put the dressing on it and I’m

boom

good to go so cut down your salad make

it easier to consume alright number

three veggies with cheese so you can

have broccoli with melted cheese

cauliflower with melted cheese there’s a

great restaurant in my area called the

melting pot and they it’s incredible

they make this melted cheese and you dip

your vegetables and that’s a very easy

and tasty way to get more greens or

vegetables in your diet now number four

steamed veggies there’s a great recipe

that you would take spinach and you put

it on the on a pan in a stove and you

steam it and it cooks down into a

smaller amount I like to add organic

canned kidney beans warm those up

sometimes I put some tuna on it

and then you can put sea salt pepper and

garlic and it’s incredible so that’s

another thing that you can do that may

actually make it easy to consume your

greens number five we have cut Tomatoes

with basil if you have some really good

tasting tomatoes from the farmers market

or from the health food store that

actually tastes like tomatoes and you

cut those up and you add basil to it

fresh basil with ranch dressing that

makes a great kind of a salad but it’s

different it don’t have you don’t have

the greens but it’s a great way to get

your vegetables but you’re actually

having tomatoes so that’s another

favorite of mine all right number six

cut veggies with dip or hummus so you

have the traditional cucumber carrot

celery but you can have zucchini and

even mushrooms if you want and you just

dip them you could dip them into certain

dips that don’t have msg or the ranch

dressing Newman’s Own or hummus that’s a

really no-brainer way to get more

vegetables without having to you know

like just eat them plain so make them

taste good now number seven zucchini

with pasta you could take zucchini I

have the recipe on that log shape it

down as noodles and you don’t even have

to cook it actually you can have it raw

and put some pasta sauce on it or pesto

it’s really really amazing some Parmesan

cheese I actually really enjoy this one

as well

number eight spaghetti squash with pasta

if you’ve never had spaghetti squash you

can get it at any grocery store you cut

it in half and you put in the oven for

about 40 minutes you bake it and it

comes out as noodles and it’s great

because you could add some pasta sauce

make that could be your noodles and

instead of using the wheat pasta noodles

really delicious

it’s another month another one of my

favorites number nine we have grilled

zucchini

you basically just grill it and before

you grill it you just put some olive oil

on it

sea salt and pepper and maybe some other

spices and it’s quite delicious this is

another one of my favorite is another

way to just make vegetables taste good

all right number ten veggies and omelets

every time you make

in the morning to stuff it with

vegetables you can put mushrooms and

onions and tomatoes and whatever you’d

like

that’s another favorite okay 11 baked

kale there’s a big kale chip recipe you

can get pretty much anywhere on the

internet you just take your kale you

drizzle some olive oil and some sea salt

and you bake it and they’re low heats

and it comes out this is your

alternative to your potato chip another

great way to make your vegetables taste

delicious

number 12 Green powders this would be

the barley greens or the wheatgrass

juice powders I have one called the

wheatgrass juice powder that’s really

good because it’s not just a wheatgrass

powder it’s the wheatgrass juice powder

I mean one teaspoon is equivalent to

about four and a half pounds of

nutrients and vegetables so since the

purpose of vegetables is to give

nutrients this way you can have a very

small amount a little teaspoon in a

glass mix it up and drink it up and you

get a lot of nutrition without having to

eat four pounds of vegetables so that’s

a really good idea Green powders of

course I want to mention my kale shake

my instant kale shake this is another

delicious way what I’ve done is I found

different ways to make taste good kale

taste good by taking powdered kale

mixing with chocolate or fruit or or

caramel flavoring and and putting a

protein called pea protein and it’s

sweetened with the wreath with all and

xylitol and it’s just the tad of stevia

and you just mix water or almond of

almond milk and blend it up or shake it

up and it’s a great way to get your kale

in a shake so you you won’t even taste

the kale in there but it has a good

amount of kale per serving okay number

fourteen your favorite veggies now what

does that mean it means that out of all

of that cheese what is your favorite

it’s okay to consume large quantities of

just one vegetable if you don’t like

vegetables like I had one guy he the

only vegetable that he liked was peace

and basically that’s all he did he ate a

lot of peas every single day and he

bought the frozen pea

then slightly steamed him and he

consumed as he put those in omelets and

different things so you can also do that

as well

number 15 I created a recipe that

involved using cauliflower and

mozzarella cheese for the crust on a

pizza you can also do that that’s

another way to get your kids to consume

cauliflower and you won’t even taste it

it’s in the crust it’s quite delicious

very filling so you don’t need much but

you could make a vegetarian pizza number

16

you could have vegetable soup I suggest

make your own put a lot of vegetables in

it you can put kale and beans and all

sorts of things a bean soup and that’s

another no-brainer to get some more

vegetables because normally when you

have warmed soup it’s it’s better it’s

very easy to consume that during the

winter because it goes down nicely

versus all the cold vegetables that you

would eat now number 17 in the last one

vegetable juice now I’m not recommending

the v8 because really those that’s

pasteurized and when you heat all these

vegetables too much you kill it so as

you notice none of these involve

overcooking the vegetables like you

would get at the restaurant at the

all-you-can-eat buffets so this one is

involving the juicing of the vegetables

so I normally recommend I don’t

recommend juicing but if you have this

with maybe just a little bit of carrot

to add a little bit of sweetness not too

much because it could spike your sugar

it’s good to get some nutrition you can

do occasionally but you want to take

these green vegetables and you can juice

them and at least get the nutrition from

that but ideally it’s better to blend

your vegetables so that’s your summary

of how to get more vegetables in your

body and make them taste a little bit

more interesting
