Vegetables do not have to be bland. It is no secret that they are packed with nutrients with very few calories. However, it is hard to eat foods without a lot of flavor.
1. Add your own flavor. Add garlic powder, pepper, spices or citrus juice. Adding these flavors help make vegetables taste better without adding the fat and calories of additives like butter and bacon.
2. Use different cooking methods. Grill, roast, boil, or steam. This will help add a variety of flavors to your vegetables.
3. Mix vegetables into main dishes. Add vegetables to your casseroles, stir fry, soups, or pasta dishes.
4. Make healthy dips for your vegetables. Instead of dipping your veggies in high calorie dips, use those made of reduced fat sour cream, light ranch dressing, or any low fat recipe of your choice.
Vegetables do not have much flavor on their own but are so important for a balanced diet. Make an effort to eat more vegetables and add your own flavoring to make them more enjoyable.
