Vegetables range in taste from bitter to sweet, in texture from mushy to crisp, and in color from green to purple. With all that variety, it can be easy to get overwhelmed!
Unless you’re the rare person who happily consumed your broccoli and peas as a child, chances are you struggle to include enough veggies in your diet. Vegetables get a bad rap, often because of our childhood experiences, but it really is possible to find vegetables that you not only tolerate, but that you actually like!
If You Like Crunchy Snack Foods
Celery is an obvious crisp candidate, but it is far from the only option. Fresh cucumbers also offer a satisfying crunch, as do: radishes, raw sweet and bell peppers, okra, raw cauliflower, and pickles. Don’t love raw veggies?

Grilling vegetables will have a similar effect, but usually gives a more distinct smoky flavor and added crunch.
If You Need to be Tricked into Eating Your Greens and Veg
At the end of the day, you know you don’t like vegetables. That’s OK!
You can still trick yourself into including more vegetables into your diet. Here are a couple of way s to sneak in healthy veggies without turning up your nose:
The possibilities of vegetables are positively endless, but don’t feel overwhelmed. Pick one or two new veggies to try, find an easy recipe or cooking instructions, and experiment until you find your new favorites!
