Things to do on National Eat Your Vegetables Day

Go out to a vegetarian restaurant
If you’re not a vegetarian, you probably don’t frequent vegetarian eateries. However, National Eat Your Veggies Day is an excellent opportunity to try something new that incorporates vegetables. Vegetarian restaurants specialize in making vegetables the star of the show, and you’ll be amazed at how filling they can be.

Cook some vegetables
There are more vegetable kinds accessible today than ever before in history; therefore, there are likely some that you have never tried. Take a look for some of the more odd vegetables, such as taro, jackfruit, and yucca. Make sure you pick a recipe that teaches you exactly how to prepare the veggies as well as how to cook the meal. You might discover a new favorite meal.

Get in your five
“An apple a day keeps the doctor away,” they used to say. Doctors have been forced to change that statement to “five a day.” Make it a goal to eat five servings of vegetables today. Breakfast might be a vegetarian scramble; lunch can be a salad; and supper can be roasted vegetables. Don’t forget the carrot cake for dessert (it totally counts).
