How to get those veggies in?

• Raw -  chop any peppers when  you get home from the store -- dip them in hummus or babaganoush. Or make a salad with greens and chopped veggies.
• Stir Fry -  chop peppers, onions and mushrooms.  Heat a pan to medium and coat with coconut oil or butter. Toss in veggies and cook 5 - 10 minutes.  Optional:  Add spices and protein. 
• Skewer & Grill -  cube veggies of choice and load on bamboo/metal skewers -- optional add meat. Cook until just browned.
• Add to a SHAKE - add a handful of leafy greens to your morning shake. There are also great Greens products available if you're really struggling with this habit.  Fresh is BEST!!!
