There are many ways to incorporate green leafy vegetables such as bok choy, brussel sprouts, kale, etc. into your daily diet to make them delicious, nutritious, and aid in weight loss.
Add to smoothie
The combination of sweet fruit and creamy nut butter or seeds will mask the flavor of many bitter greens. You can also add 2 servings of vegetables for every serving of fruit to help keep the sugar content of your drink low.
Mix into your favorite dish
Adding a little green to family-loved recipes is a subtle addition that often goes unnoticed by diners.
For some people, maintaining the mouthfeel of certain foods is important. If this is the case for you, make sure to steam or cook vegetables long enough to break them down but not destroy their nutrients.
Crispy
Fiber-rich leafy greens like bok choy, brussel sprouts, and collard greens can all be sliced thinly, just be sure to keep an eye on the oven, as baking times will vary depending on the firmness of the greens.
Frozen vegetables
Frozen vegetables are just as nutritious as fresh vegetables. Frozen vegetables are often cheaper and last longer in the freezer, regardless of the season. There are many options for frozen vegetables, such as adding a bag of frozen spinach to a canned soup for a quick and filling lunch.
