Always look for new ways to add extra veggies, fruit, fiber & the like to meals. Try adding them to soups, rice dishes, pasta, eggs, smoothies, or anything that we are making. We can never have too many veggies & they are so low in calories we can eat until we are full & not feel guilty. B inventive
When I don't have time to cook my food for lunch the night before I have a stash of Lean Cuisine and Healthy Choice meals in the freezer at work. To bulk them up I add a serving of veggies. It helps me stay fuller throughout the day and I'm getting an extra serving of veggies!
