I tell anyone on a diet to eat vegetables and greens anytime they are hungry.
That's because:
- They are are cheap, especially when bought frozen
- They are easy to make
- They are low calorie, one cup of the non-starchy veggies can be less than 30 calories!
- Most are high in fiber which will keep you full
- They are full of important vitamins
Vegetables make an excellent snack, meal, or side dish. It's low calorie & full of vitamins!
The below recipe can be used with ANY vegetable! It takes less than 15 mins and 1 cup is less than 30 calories! I used turmeric to add more antioxidants to the mix 👍
No one will ever know these veggies came straight from the freezer! They are so good & taste fresh.
STEPS:
-Add 1 teaspoon olive oil to a hot pan
-Add in 1/2 diced onion & cook until light brown
-Add in 2 cloves minced garlic
