I have to eat VEGGIES all DAY tomorrow- HELP?

January 7th, 2009

I cant have corn or beans, but any other veggie is ok. I dont eat veggies so i have no idea what to eat- so far I have a cucumber, a stalk of celery and carrots. I have lettuce, but i cant hav dressing.

A few thoughts

Real carrots - not the baby carrots. Real carrots have more flavor.

Have several different kinds of lettuce or get a bag with a mix. Eating just iceberg lettuce is terrible.

Maybe a cole slaw mix without the liquid. (I think you can bags with that calorie filled liquid - is it mayonaise?)

Cherry tomatoes - you can pop them into you mouth and they are tasty.

Sugar snap peas. (do these count as beans?)

Do pickles count? They are just cucumbers in salt and water.

Spice things up with some hot peppers.

Sometimes I cut up broccoli or cauliflower to eat raw.

Good Luck!

ADDED
For diets, potatoes are usually considered a starch rather than vaggie.

Potatoes are really nice

potatoes
radishes
cauliflower
cabbage
tomatoes
beetroot
can you have lentils?

celery with peanut butter? i don't know that other guy said celery and i thought peanut butter would go nicely with it.
why do you have to eat veggies all day tomorrow?

cucumber and celery and lettuce are all too water oriented to have a lot of nutrition.
spinach have an incredible amount of vitamins and nutrients
broccoli carries more calcium than milk
carrots are great especially moroccan style
try sweet peppers
are peppers vegetables? idk but i have those alone for breakfast all the time

potatoes.
french fries are potatoes
:D

Steam or stir-fry some carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms, onions, bell peppers, or whatever you can think of. Then put some salt and seasonings and a little cheese if you're allowed to eat that. Also baked potatoes or sweet potatoes would be a great idea. Baked sweet potatoes with brown sugar is delicious. Peanut butter (if you can eat it tomorrow) goes great with celery or with apples. Make yourself a fruit salad with any combination of: melons, apples, bananas, oranges, grapes, strawberries. Hope I helped a little.

POTATOES!!! my fave~~lol

Look no further than your bag of carrots. The wholesome goodness you find in carrots has many essential nutrients your body needs.

Celery is good also.

All of the above, but don't forget avocados and sweet potatoes.

If you can have fruit, I'd probably have a fruit plate for breakfast, but if you're limited strictly to the non-sugary plants, you could try making a veggie hash. I do this with diced potatoes, onion, pepper, zucchini, carrot, and anything else I have on hand. I've thrown in minced brocolli, quartered cherry tomatoes, you name it. Saute in a pan with some olive oil or non-stick cooking spray if you can't have oil. Season it up with chili powder, garlic powder, or whatever, and throw some salsa on top. Yum! (I usually make breakfast tacos out of it, but I'd definitely eat it plain if I were doing a veggie fast.)

Lunch can be a big salad with plenty of avocado as well as lots of other chopped veggies for staying power. Since you can't have dressing, you can try seasoning it with a good squeeze of lemon juice and lots of herbs and fresh ground pepper. Can you have a little oil and vinegar? If so, you can make a nice vinaigrette dressing.

For supper a big baked potato, sweet potato or winter squash makes a good centerpiece, it will help fill you up, and then you can throw a bunch of green veggies on the grill if you want. Asparagus, zucchini, onions, peppers, big fat carrots sliced into planks, and portabella mushrooms all go great on the grill (be sure to use some cooking spray to keep them from sticking). If you're not allowed to have the usual toppings, a baked potato might seem really boring, but try adding a bunch of basil (preferably fresh), lemon juice, and salt & pepper. And olive oil if you can have a spoonful.

Again, if you can have fruit, grilled fruit makes a great dessert.

Another option is a veggie soup. I'll post one of my favorite recipes below-- all you would need to do is leave out the beans, and I guess omit the olive oil if you're not allowed to have it. So simple, but so good!

Try some brocoli with a good buttery sauce to dress it up. Tomatoes are always great to munch on when your on the go. Pickles are considered a vegetable and so is coleslaw, salad, and any other type of vegetable medley. Good luck!

potatos!!

i like bell peppers. i also like broccoli and veggie stir fry dishes. Hmmm, if you like steamed vegetables, you'll like steamed cauliflower, steamed mushrooms, and steamed brussels sprouts. the possibilities are endless. If you want more flavor, use spices and / or hot sauce!
