Day 2

Have at least five servings of vegetables per day!  


A serving size is 1/2 cup of cooked or raw vegetables or 1 cup leafy vegetables (spinach)


Ways to get in your vegetables

make a delicious green smoothie in the morning.  You can get in 1 cup or more of kale/spinach by doing that.  






I like to cut up squash and dip it in hummus.  Ps..I didn't know you could eat squash raw until two years ago.  Ever since then it is my favorite veggie to eat raw.  



side salads.  Click here for the recipe


sweet potatos steamed in a steamable bag!  So easy, just cut up sweet potatos and steam for five minutes and they are done.



Edamame/soy beans.  Always a favorite.  I buy the giant costco bag of these.  For added flavor add 1/4 cup of balsamic vinaigrette dressing to your edamame.  I first had this at Roys restaurant on our honeymoon and it was so good!
