Anyone know an alternative to just eating veggies everyday? I will eat carrots, most lettuce, and sometimes green beans. Other than that, I can't STAND veggies. Or most fruit for that matter. But I know it's important to my health to eat that stuff.
Any suggestions?

Make a great suce for pasta. You can use every veggie there and it will taste great

Just train yourself to like it. I did that with water, I just kept drinking it until I got used to it. Same with apple cores. Actually I have no idea why I did the latter...

Do you like smoothies? Terrible for your teeth but a very quick way to get a huge dose of fruit.

What is it that you don't like? The taste or the texture or both?

Try a spicey veggie curry I bet that would hide the taste.

Also dice them up really small in stews.

Do you like soup? That's another easy way to eat loads of veg, scots broth is a good one for this.

Hi canuckdude,

I smiled when I read your post because unfortunately, I am just like you. I've tried just about everything to train myself to tolerate it, have tried the V8 juices (the new fruit/veggie combination ones aren't too disgusting so I recommend finding a flavor you might be able to stand) but I have personally resorted to taking nutritional supplements for those important nutrients I don't get in food. I know it isn't ideal and doesn't exactly have the full value of eating these foods since the body's absorption is different, but it's better than not getting them at all. Perhaps if all else fails - you could try the same? It takes some research to figure out a supplement plan tailored to you (what's missing in your diet) but it's worth it.
