Make EVERY Meal Healthier!

 

You can make every meal healthier with volumetrics.  Volumetrics is the idea of adding volume to your food by adding vegetables.  Add any combination of vegetables to any meal and poof; it is healthier for you and your whole family.  When cooking any protein: hamburger, chicken, or eggs, adding vegetables during the cooking process allows the vegetable to take on some of the flavor.  Think of the texture you want your meal to have.  Onions and celery can provide a tongue pleasing crunch.  The more they are cooked, they softer they get.  Some vegetables blend better than others.  Spinach can go in anything and be virtually undetectable, even in smoothies!  Broccoli, on the other hand has a very strong taste.  Onions and bell peppers are the veggies I most frequently add.  Play around in the kitchen and see what you and your family like.
