Tips and tricks

I don’t think there’s anyone who questions the nutritional benefits of raw green veggies. There’s just one problem: they don’t taste all that great. 

The most practical way to overcome this challenge is a green smoothie. Such a smoothie can be made in bulk and frozen in containers so that it is always easily available. It at least has a decent taste, so drinking it regularly is no problem.

You should also experiment with incorporating more greens on the side of your hot meals. For example, I recently found that raw spinach goes extremely well with lasagne.

So, raw green veggies definitely deserve a spot on your daily meal plan. With a little bit of planning, getting past their rather bland taste is actually pretty easy.

Why not give it a go? There’s no doubt that turning raw green vegetables into a daily habit is a very smart move!
