Adding Veggies To Your Diet, The Yummy Way

Sometimes it's hard to add vegetables to your diet because, let's face it, some just don't taste good raw, or even cooked, to a lot of people. It's easy to get that 2-3 servings of fruit a day, but it's only the best for our bodies if we get those good fibrous veggies into our diet as well. 

So, here are 4 different appetizing plates I've created with sauteed veggies:

Chicken Fajitas

This is super simple. I use the fajita seasonings with chicken breast, peppers & onions, then I place a good serving into a couple of romaine lettuce boats. Add some guacamole on the side if you want!

Chicken Stir Fry

With a package of frozen stir fry veggies, Braggs coconut aminos (tastes like soy sauce), and chicken breast, you can make these veggies taste awesome. In a pan, cook cut up chicken breast in coconut aminos (about 3-4 tbsp), when that is mostly cooked, throw the veggies in there & add the aminos to taste. This recipe is also good with Kung Pao sauce!

Bacon/Butter Brussels Sprouts

Cook up a few slices of your favorite bacon (preferably uncured to avoid nitrates) then when those are nearly done, take them out, throw some Brussels (cut in half) into a pan with a 2 tbsp of butter and saute them to your liking. Cut the bacon into smaller pieces, then add it back in.

Zucchini Pesto

I used my new veggie spiralizer for this one & it turned out great! One regular sized spiralized zucchini makes a good amount of "noodles". In a pan, I cooked my chicken breast & 5 or 6 asparagus with some store bought basil pesto (2-3 tbsp), then I added the noddles and sauteed it all together for a couple extra minutes. It was quick, easy, and SO good. 

Please try these! I swear by all my delicious meal ideas because I am picky when it comes to food and have never been a fan of vegetables until now. I would rather eat healthy my way instead of doing the typical "chicken & rice" to stay lean. I love spices, flavor, and different varieties now that I have experimented with so many foods. Let me know if you try something, or if you need clarification on one of my recipes. 

ENJOY :-)
