Some quotes: The
(or!) Nutritionist: " Oh, I do not eat it, vegetables! A big plate of grilled vegetables, vegetables, a standard e-course salad of exuberant color ... And not too much dressing to mask the taste! "At least that's what most (not all (tous!), there is always a cobbler wrong floor ...) will tell you!
The child who learns to appreciate " Yuck, vegetables, it tastes like nothing! I want, not even a small bite! "
man (usually the male gender!) which never had an incentive to try: " Bah, I cut them into tiny pieces, I eat at the same time that my bite of steak, it helps. It's happening not seen or known! "
Well, if I tell you it is that weekend, I swapped my 6 oz filet mignon at the restaurant for the 3 / 4 of vegetables from my coach (oh, well, I will said, the Men are generally less enthusiastic vegetables:) And also because I hosted a group of youths 9 to 12 who did not want anything to do with "weird stuff that tastes bad" ... I'm worried!
My goal today? You eat vegetables every day ... Yes, yes, daily! To get there, I must first give you a little reminder (not too redundant, you already know all that ...)
Why should you eat vegetables?
Because above all, it's nutritious! They provide vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. For example, 1 / 2 cup (125 ml) of raw carrots provides nearly 100% of your vitamin A needs! One cup (250 ml) of raw broccoli (florets about 5-6 at most!), 100% of your vitamin C. .. Not to mention the entire amount of fiber in the vegetables you provide. They say they have vegetables fill half your plate. If you think this leaves little room for your chicken breast and rice, remember that fiber vegetables will give you a feeling of satiety rather quickly ... The remaining half of meat and grain products will be well enough for the belly is well filled.
Well, how do you eat so much!
1. It is organized. They are prepared in advance, returning from the grocery store: peel carrots, cut cauliflower into florets, wash lettuce, celery sticks ready, peel the turnip ... And put it in the eye! Believe me, if the fridge is full of vegetables ready to eat, it will be much easier to slip into his lunch box or take a snack.
2. It opts for "easy". And no, there is still no fast-food restaurant for vegetables ... (Imagine the drive-thru: "Yes, I'll take green beans au gratin in the oven, take out please! ") I am talking about frozen vegetables are as nutritious as raw vegetables!
3. They are prepared differently. You get tired of eating fewer vegetables if they are varied and presented in different forms.
- Raw, they can be eaten in salads. Why not endive leaves, grated carrots or asparagus into pieces to revive your salad, try the lettuce "escarole" whose the leaves are curled and bright purple. You'll back to you. You can also accompany your raw vegetables and dip nutrient (No. .. not famous ketchup-mayo, but rather a kind of yoghurt, fresh cheese or mashed beans!)
- Cooked, avoids cooking methods that require lots of water, because the vegetables lose their nutritional value . And if boiled vegetables require, reuse the cooking water to make a vegetable broth for soup. It is best to cook vegetables sauteed, broiled, steamed, baked or microwave by covering them with plastic wrap. And cooked vegetables, like that on your plate, it can go for lovers ... But to surprise (pleasantly!) The hardest, prepare them with a sauce or what I call "value added" (bechamel sauce, tomato or rose, basil pesto, sesame oil + soy sauce, black olive tapenade, cheese, etc..) Approaching summer, you can grill slices of zucchini or eggplant, mushrooms or diced peppers on the grill Let your imagination!
And to love, how you doing?
Nope! I have no magic tricks to enjoy vegetables instantly to your cooks or men of the house ... But I can tell you one thing: perseverance is key! Encourage small and to sample a large variety of vegetables. Eventually, their taste buds will adjust to their liking. But patience you may need to submit five .... ten ... twenty .... forty times (!) before they are appreciated!
With that, good tasting!
