15 Easy Ways to Sneak More Veggies Into Everyday Meals

Getting enough vegetables each day can be a challenge, but it doesn’t have to be! With a little creativity, you can easily boost the nutrition in your favorite dishes without sacrificing flavor. Here are simple, delicious ideas to help you add more veggies into your daily routine:

  1. Blend frozen cauliflower into protein shakes—Add a handful of frozen cauliflower to your protein shake. It makes it extra creamy without changing the flavor—no one will even notice it’s there!
  2. Make high-veggie low-carb pizza—Blend spinach and kale into tomato sauce using a food processor. Spread it over a low-carb tortilla, top with cheese and your favorite toppings, then bake for a nutritious, veggie-loaded pizza.
  3. Use lettuce or collard greens as wraps—Swap out tortillas for large leafy greens to create crisp, low-carb wraps packed with fiber and nutrients.
  4. Try broccoli tots—Combine finely chopped broccoli with an egg, Parmesan cheese, almond flour, and seasonings like garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Shape into tots and bake until golden.
  5. Make veggie-packed egg muffins—Add chopped spinach, bell peppers, or broccoli to beaten eggs. Pour into a muffin tin and bake for a quick, grab-and-go breakfast option.
  6. Add veggie purees to your sauce or mac & cheese—Mix puréed butternut squash, pumpkin, or cauliflower into cheese sauces for extra creaminess and a nutrient boost.
  7. Make “nice cream” with avocado or zucchini—Blend frozen bananas with avocado or steamed, frozen zucchini for a smooth, plant-based dessert that feels indulgent but is packed with good-for-you ingredients.
  8. Stuff vegetables with protein—Fill bell peppers, zucchini boats, or large mushrooms with lean meats, plant-based proteins, or quinoa for a satisfying, nutrient-dense meal.
  9. Add shredded cabbage or carrots to sandwiches—Toss shredded veggies into wraps, burgers, or deli sandwiches for added crunch, fiber, and color.
  10. Use veggie ice cubes—Blend spinach, cucumber, or celery with water and freeze in ice cube trays. Add them to smoothies or water for a refreshing, nutrient-packed boost.
  11. Add spinach to smoothies—A handful of fresh spinach blends easily into smoothies, giving you extra fiber, folate, and iron—and you won’t even taste it.
  12. Swap pasta for spiralized zucchini or spaghetti squash—Use spiralized zucchini or roasted spaghetti squash as a lower-carb, high-fiber alternative to traditional pasta.
  13. Try veggie-based chips or fries—Air-fry zucchini, sweet potatoes, or kale chips for a crunchy, flavorful snack with added vitamins and minerals.
  14. Bulk up soups and stews—Toss extra chopped veggies like spinach, mushrooms, carrots, or broccoli into homemade or canned soups for more texture, flavor, and nutrition.
  15. Mix grated veggies into meat dishes—Grate zucchini, carrots, or mushrooms and mix them into burger patties, meatballs, or meatloaf to sneak in extra veggies and keep dishes moist and flavorful.

Final tip: Small additions like these add up to big health benefits. Whether you’re boosting fiber, adding plant-based nutrients, or cutting down on carbs, these simple swaps make it easy to eat more vegetables every day—no complicated recipes required!
