Vegging Out: Boosting Vegetable Intake

By Kaitlynn Onneken, CrossFit Level 2 Certified & Precision Nutrition Level 1 Certified

Vegetables are nature’s multivitamin—packed with essential nutrients, low in calories, and a powerhouse addition to any meal. If you want to enhance your health and well-being, here are some simple ways to boost your vegetable intake throughout the day:

1. Rise and Shine with Veggies

Start your day with a nutritious bang! Add vegetables to your breakfast with a colorful omelette filled with bell peppers, spinach, and tomatoes. The mix of protein and veggies will fuel you for a strong, energized morning.

2. Blend Them into a Smoothie

For busy mornings, blend leafy greens like kale or spinach with a banana and some berries for a tasty, nutrient-packed smoothie. It’s an easy way to sip your way to better health.

3. Lunchtime Veggie Delights

Lunch is a perfect chance to pack in more veggies. Try a veggie-loaded wrap with lettuce, cucumbers, and carrots, or a vibrant salad with a variety of vegetables, nuts, and a flavorful vinaigrette.

4. Vibrant Dinners

End your day with a satisfying veggie-rich meal. Prepare a rainbow stir-fry with peppers, broccoli, and snap peas, paired with your choice of protein. Roasted vegetables with olive oil, herbs, and a pinch of salt bring out their natural sweetness.

5. Snacking the Veggie Way

Swap chips for sliced cucumbers, celery, and cherry tomatoes. Pair with hummus for a healthy, satisfying snack.

6. Explore Different Culinary Styles

Keep things exciting by trying different cuisines and cooking methods—from Mediterranean salads with olives and feta to Asian-inspired stir-fries with bok choy and snow peas. Variety keeps veggies fun and delicious!

In conclusion: Boosting your vegetable intake is simple, rewarding, and essential for overall health. Every bite brings you closer to a stronger, healthier, and happier you.
