Anonymous asked: Hey I'm a really picky water and I don't like vegetables...what's something I could maybe eat/drink to replace them and still get the servings I need?

Honestly just man up and eat them. Your parents were right when they forced you to eat veggies as a kid (and if they didn’t, I honestly think they’re bad parents). Find a way to eat them that doesn’t involve smothering in butter or cheese.

There’s no such thing as a vegetable replacement. But I have these suggestions:

• Make smoothies with frozen or fresh fruit, yogurt, spinach, carrots, or beets.
• Learn to cook well.
• Roast broccoli, zucchini, bell peppers with a little olive oil, salt and pepper for 20-30 mins at 375F
• Make this recipe and follow all the directions (including buying haricots verts not green beans). It’s my absolute favorite veggie recipe!
• Add cooked, finely chopped veggies (carrots, onion, celery) to ground beef or other meat. It’s called mirepoix, you can google it.
• Buy sweet, petite frozen peas and follow cooking instructions on the bag then eat them with a sliver of butter and a little salt. 
• Browse this and look for recipes at foodgawker.com foodnetwork.com or cookinglight.com
• Cook zucchini, peas, or broccoli with a little bit of chopped bacon in a pan

And remember stuff like ensure or V8 ARE NOT REPLACEMENTS FOR VEGETABLES. They’re just a better alternative to juice. Find a way to cook them so that you’ll like them and just fucking eat your vegetables!!
