Bored with salads or steamed veggies - try these tips.
Raw vegetables are a nutritional powerhouse and the naturally occurring enzymes help the body break down cooked foods. This digestive support is extremely helpful especially during the beginning of the program because it takes about three weeks before your gut health is fully restored. Our recommendation is that you consume 70% of your vegetables raw and experiment with different leafy greens from the level 1 food list when preparing cooked.
If you are tired of eating a salad every day here are a few tips to add a bit more variety.
Eat smarter. Live betr.
1. Add a Green Smoothie
Try our Kale Berry Smoothie with hemp or chia seeds for an occasional meal replacement. Greens like spinach, baby kale, or even beet greens have a mild taste and are great to use as a smoothie base.
2. Add sweet veggies
Try a new veggie like fennel which has a sweet taste. It’s high in fiber and is great for a stand-alone snack or filled with a protein like cottage cheese for a meal.
3. Replace salads with lettuce wraps
Try wrapping burgers or any grilled protein in leafy greens like romaine or different colored Swiss chard. Use butter lettuce as a bowl for our Chili, Sloppy Joe, or Chicken Salad recipe.
4. Try Organic Salsa
Use fresh veggies and spices to make an organic salsa or use our Bruschetta recipe as a topping over any grilled protein.
5. Bake KAle Chips
Spray some Bragg Liquid Amino’s over kale and bake until crisp for a delicious snack!
6. Saute Veggies
Use 1-2 tsp of Grapeseed or Coconut Oil and garlic to saute veggies like peppers, onions, spinach, beet greens, and zucchini. Add your favorite spices and 3 egg whites and you have a complete meal.
7. Crock Pot Vegetable Soup
Make a large serving of soup in a crockpot and serve with some raw veggies for a complete meal.
