Together with fruit, veggies, mushrooms and sprouts form the base of both the vegan and the "ordinary" food pyramid. No matter if vegan or not, you should have at least three servings/400 g a day, both fresh and boiled. This list here offers just a few suggestions to pick from - of course, there are many more!
If 400 g seem a lot to you, here are a few tipps:
- put vegetable slices (e. g. tomato, cucumber, radish) or salad leafs on your sandwiches, burgers or in wraps
- eat vegetables as a snack between the meals, e. g. cherry tomatoes, bell pepper slices or carrot, perhaps with hummus or whatever dip you like
- eat pasta, rice etc. with vegetable sauces, e. g. tomato sauce
- make your own vegetable spreads and dips
- add an extra thick layer of veggies to your pizza
- always have a salad or vegetable soup before the meals
- if perparing fresh vegetables seems stressful to you, you may also use frozen ones
- occasionally, you may also have a vegetable smoothie or a glass of juice
