Finding Perfection

Put them where you can see them! It’s like out of sight out of mind in reverse! My number one thing is using the crisper drawers for fruit, eggs, and cheese. I keep my veggies on the shelves where I can see them.

Prepare vegetables as you put them away, don’t wait till they become a science experiment. Prepping my veggies as I put them away, is the number one change I made to increase my veggie intake.

Start by just adding them into the meals your already eating.
Until eating tons of veggies becomes an actual habit, set a goal of including them at every meal in any way you want to with the meals you are already eating.

Make a cauliflower pizza crust
Cauliflower is extremely versatile. You can rice it, roast it, stick it in a stew, puree it for silky goodness, and make it into a pizza crust.

Add veggies to sauces
Adding extra vegetables to your sauces and dressings is a sneaky way to increase your veggie intake, especially if you have picky kids.

Make changes at your own pace
The ‘all or nothing’ attitude can sometimes actually get in the way of making any progress at all – even if you’re not ready to start eating 100% vegetarian all in one go, that doesn’t mean you can’t start taking small steps towards reducing your meat consumption.
