Those pesky GREENS!!!: Ways to get those veggies in!

People (especially those on the 21 Day Fix) ask me all the time how the heck I get all those green containers in.  Face it; we all know that veggies are the healthiest way to a healthier YOU!  Veggies do a lot of things for us:

^ Here is a link explaining all those things-- You know they are awesome for you-full of nutrients and vitamins that does a body good.  But how do we sneak those veggies in without going into veggie overload?! Let me help:

• Salads- Well duh.  That's an obvious one; but my favorite thing about my salads are they are more veggies than lettuce! haha! It's something about putting them together.
• Veggie with every dinner.  May seem silly; but at one point in my life this was NOT happening or the veggies were cooked and loaded with butter.  Fresh veggies are the best but if you need to get those steamer frozen veggies- any will do!!! Its one portion of veggies out of the way and you can mix it with other things on your plate!
• Mixed in with your favorite foods! Some things I do:
• Put carrots in meatloaf or turkey burgers. You don't even notice they are there!!!!
• Mix veggies with brown rice.
• Put them in your eggs!  Make some veggie egg cups! (scramble some eggs, add some veggies and meat, put them in a cupcake cooking pan (spray the tray first!) and cook them in your oven at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes!
• Mix it with things you like the taste of! Peanut butter is a great dip!  Add crushed turkey bacon to your broccoli! Spice it up!
• Roll it up in your meat!  My favorite is chicken roll ups with broccoli and cheese!!! Check out the recipe in my favorite chicken recipe post in this blog!
• Mixed in with your favorite shake!  You won't taste it; I promise.  Throw a little spinach in that chocolate or berry shake!
• Cauliflower rice (available at Trader Joe's or you can make your own with a head of cauliflower and a food processor): You're welcome... OH and did I mention you can make pizza crust out of it? http://tastykitchen.com/blog/2013/08/cauliflower-crust-pizza/
• Spaghetti Squash-- I've heard of it for some time and was like- SICK, GROSS.. but then I tried it. OMG ITS SO GOOD!!! It legit tastes like Spaghetti!
• Homemade pasta sauce/salsa!  You get to add as many veggies as you want AND you limit the sugar!
• Lettuce wraps- RID OF THE BUNS!!! Seriously-- use it for everything. Sandwiches, tacos, pretty much anything can go on a lettuce wrap!
• Soups and chili!  Add veggies to your favorite soups and chili recipes!
• Cucumber sandwiches- Add some of your favorite sandwich fillings between two slices of cucumber instead of bread! Small  but cute and delicious!  You can even add some PB or hummus and its like a little cracker!
• Add hot sauce.  As a Buffaloian adding Frank's Red Hot to anything tastes like home!!! 
• Veggie chips! Google or pinterest it!  You can turn any veggie into a chip-- and who doesn't like chips!?

These are some examples I use! It's way easier than you think- I promise! :)
