Quick and easy Weight Watchers vegetable recipes and ideas to boost your weight loss.
Few of us would argue the fact that vegetables are good for you. Packed with fiber, water, vitamins and minerals, veggies are a nutritional powerhouse.

Here are some easy ways for WW members (and anyone who wants to lose weight and get healthier) to add more vegetables into your regular routine.

3 Easy Ways to Add Veggies if You Hate (or Forget) to Eat Vegetables
How can you lose weight on WW if you hate vegetables? Don’t worry, you can still lose weight even if you are a picky eater. Remember that you don’t have to eat vegetables, but it does make weight loss easier. Weight loss comes from eating fewer calories than you burn, not eating one specific type of food.
Here are 3 very simple ways to add vegetables to what you are already eating.
1. Top Your Plate with Spinach
Before you add food to your plate, line it with a cup of spinach. The spinach will wilt from the heat of your food and you’ve easily added some healthy greens to your meal.
Spinach is a great vegetable that’s perfect for picky eaters because a whole cups wilts down into just a few bites. It also has a mild flavor and tastes good cooked or raw.
This weight loss tip works great with scrambled eggs, casseroles, lasagna, or meats like chicken breasts and sides like pasta, rice, or potatoes.
2. Stir Cauliflower Rice Into Your Oatmeal
I first introduced this hack in the free Plant-Based for a Day Challenge and 3 Day Plant-Based Meal Plan with the popular tropical blast oatmeal recipe. I personally can’t taste the cauliflower rice in this dish at all, but it adds texture and bulk which keeps me more full.
If you are nervous about the idea of cauli rice, try shredded zucchini for oatmeal that tastes like zucchini bread.
3. Add Shredded Veggies to Ground Beef
Quick win! Add bulk without calories or points by added shredding zucchini or carrot into your meatloaf, meatballs, or chili along with the ground beef, chicken, or turkey.
Adding veggies to ground beef makes leaner meat more tender and delicious. Just take care that you don’t add too much moisture. If your vegetables have a lot of liquid, press them with paper towels before mixing.
Veggies that work well with this trick are zucchini, onion, carrots, green peppers, and mushrooms.
