I usually force myself to eat some veggies each day because there nutritional profiles are excellent. If I could find a way to make veggies taste better, I certainly think I would be eating them more. How do you guys make your veggies taste good?
How many types of veggies have you tried, and how have you prepared them?
I have found that for the most part, I do not like cooked vegetables. Keep them raw, and there are many times the types that I like.
I have found that adding some sort of oil or dressing sometimes helps, turning the vegetable into a salad with some olive oil and vinegar for example.
Add some spices and get used to the natural taste of veggies. If you stop eating “normal” food during a certain time you’ll find yourself enjoying what you’re eating a lot more. I can’t really stand “junk” food anymore. It’s been one of the side-effects of the velocity diet too.
is there a way to make frozen broccoli palatable? I have tried butter, but it just don’t help.

Cook it.
No seriously invest in a steamer.
Steamed veggies drizzled with a good olive oil is the best.
i second that.try garlic or chile flavored flax/olive oil.

See, I’m the opposite. Raw vegetables are like chewing on leather to me. I cook any and all vegetables that I can. Grilling vegetables is an often over-looked but very effective way to cook them. Marinate some vehetables with olive oil and throw them on the grill for a few minutes.
