My little rule is that it’s okay to have Mac n cheese for dinner or frozen pizza so long as I add a veggie

Broccoli is my favorite and so easy. Steam it, boil it, fry or roast. Just add salt and pepper I love broccoli!

Try roasting veggies! Yum!!! Just chop up literally any veggie you have ( okay not lettuce though you psycho) and toss with olive oil, roast in oven on 400 for maybe 20 minutes. Super good! If you’re a good cook or feeling creative you can add spices idk maybe garlic powder that’s easy!

Here’s another trick: BEANS! people don’t usually think of beans as a vegetable but they are! And I think beans are the best vegetable of all! Each one is tastier than the last! Full of fiber and nutrients and even protein. Heat up a can of black beans WITH THE JUICE. Add cumin. Scoop em up with chip! Eat pinto beans. No recipe needed! Pinto beans are delicious! Garbanzo, navy, red, Lima. Yum yum yum! One day you meet the king of all beans, the boss level. The butter bean. Ohhh what a bean that is. The bigger the bean the better and the butter bean is the biggest of all. Sauté them with oil and spices, serve them on toast! Be happy! Spread joy!

(If you’re about to comment that beans are not a vegetable please do me a favor and ask google if that’s true. I’ve had too many conversations about this. Beans are a vegetable. They’re the king of vegetables!!)

You're very enthusiastic about beans and I like that

I decided to Google it as you suggested. The term "vegetable" doesn't really have a single widely accepted definition. It can apparently be used to describe any edible part of a plant by the broadest definition (i.e. a fruit is a vegetable).

Yes that’s the fun of it! What are green beans and peas if not vegetable? People got really mixed up I think by the food pyramid, which is nothing more than government propaganda and it hasn’t been used for years anyway

Eat them before you eat anything else. When you are hungry, foods tend to taste better, and your body is not trying to tell you to stop eating yet.

I eat fruits and vegetables with my meals.

Three fruits are part of my morning breakfast, along with Double Fat Plain Yoghurt, and powdered almonds and some plain cocoa powder.

I am a vegan. The only thing I eat is fruits and vegetables. And some grains too.
