Assuming you're a beginner, stirfrys and mediterranean dishes often have lots of vegies in them and are easy to make. I'd look for recipes in those two categories.

yeah but how do I make them palatable without adding a bunch of time to my meal prep?

>>14393894
thanks for the tips anon i'll check that out

you could try buying vegetables and nibbling on them a little bit alongside the meals you typically have, keep doing this until you acquire a taste for them and then desire to have them
t. enjoy tomatoes and broccoli and carrots and potatoes now by this method

Chop up some Brussels sprouts and sautee them in the bacon grease

veg is same as eating toilet paper. There is nothing magical in them that makes you healthy. its 100 years of pseudoscience and outright lies. If you ate nothing but kale for 1 year you would die. If you ate only salmon for 1 year you would be healthiest person alive.

What this anon said>>14393894

Stir fries and also casseroles are pretty easy and you can add quite a lot of veggies into them

Blend them and chug.

This is a god idea. Also, try some simple vegetable soups. Most freeze well and are very easy to make, so an hour or two of cooking can create enough soup for many meals.

I would add some easy sides like sauerkraut and pickled beets for starters. Instead of pasta dishes, try some root or cabbage stews. You can use cheap cuts of beef, sausage, or bacon and add potatoes, carrots, leek, onion, cabbage, rutabega, turnip, whatever. Ratatouille is also easy and cheap, good for dinner or the leftovers for brunch with a poached egg on top.

Replace your breakfast with a smoothie. I get 6-7 servings of veg and fruit first thing and then can coast most of the rest of the day. Water, greens, carrot, tomato, avocado, apple, banana, berries, flax.

eat them raw with some light ranch dip or something.

yes because you require a variety of nutrients.
>If you ate only salmon for 1 year you would be healthiest person alive.
you'd get mercury poisoning and cancer down the road.

reset your palate by fasting

Peppers + Onions go well together and go great with breakfast. You can saute them before or on the side of your meats (if the pan is big enough) or after in the grease if you don't care about fat. Mushrooms can be cooked to death so they're safe to throw in early. Thick, crunchy vegetables need more time. Steaming is simple but plain, roasting is best but more time consuming only because you got to preheat and wait. Just make a giant batch and eat it over the course of three days.

But also, be prepared for solid shits. Don't be alarmed, it's natural. We're just not used to having enough fiber on the reg. It does make wiping a breeze.
