Seeking advice on what vegetables to eat and how much

[Guest guest]

I am very much into nutrition. I can't afford to eat organic, but I

do eat healthful foods. My problem? I pretty much dislike all

vegetables, both cooked and raw. I eat about 5-7 servings of fresh

fruit daily and I get 4 servings of veggies daily by drinking " veggie

shakes " . (I also eat cashews and almonds daily).

 

I take 1 cup of frozen mixed greens (turnip greens, mustard greens,

kale)and 2-10 inch stalks of celery. I put that in the blender with

water and about 2 ounces of lime juice to kill the veggie taste. I

drink that down twice a day.

 

1. Would it be good to replace 1 of the celery stalks with a

serving of cucumber? Possibly replace the celery all together with

a more nutrient dense vegetable?

 

2. Can you think of any other vegetable that would compliment

the mixed greens in terms of nutrient profile that will also blend

easily into a slurry and won't have too strong of a taste?

 

3. Any other suggestions? I can't eat salads. I don't like any

cooked vegetables either. I thought about getting a juicer, but

aren't many of the nutrients in the vegetable skin? I know that I

need 4 servings of veggies a day. So far, chugging down 2 vegetable

shakes is the only way I can get them.

 

Note: I can drink just about anything (but not v-8 juice). So if we

can make put it in the blender and make it into a slurry, I can cover

the taste with lime juice and chug it down. I simply want to find a

combination of vegetables that will give me the nutrients I need.

What you are doing is great, but what I would suggest is maybe 1/2 an apple or

1/2 a pear to add a bit more fiber and a sweeter flavor. The Cucumber is a great

idea it acts as a very mild diaretic and will gently flush and clean the kidneys

and liver. Maybe add a carrot or two for an additional sweetness and added

cartinoids.

 

In Good Health.....Naturally!
