Question

I've been told by my coach to up my leafy greens and decrease my cooked veggies for more fiber in my daily intake. not a fan of lettuce or raw spinch. Any tips?  

Answer 1

I do raw spinach or power greens in my wildberry smoothie.  

Answer 2

Smoothies! They mask the taste of the spinach

Answer 3

Maybe frozen cauliflower in smoothie

Answer 4

Kale! Kidding. Have you tried the various varieties of lettuce? There were some that were not on my to eat list, but others became my favorite. I even look forward to salads now. Smoothies are a great way to get them in and not notice.

I've had romaine and other lettuce, but am so used to piling on dressing (in my pre-IP life) that it is a bit lackluster with minimal oil & vinegar dressing. I'd prefer to stay away from the WF and other "carb free" pre-made dressings as I'm already putting a ton of non-natural ingredients in my body with the IP items. Dressing recipe recommendations?

@springclean I have been doing this since 2015 and I always use WF and my bloodwork and health are in amazing shape. My doctor is really impressed. I don’t worry about it at all.

@springclean Seriously, teach yourself to eat salad without dressing. It takes a while but it’s something that can stick with you in maintenance. It makes it easy when you go out to dinner and this is all about lifestyle changes. Salt & pepper. At home I make my own salad dressing with 2 kinds of mustard and apple cider vinegar. No oil but you can add it in IP prescribed amounts. Just teach yourself to go without. Same with drinking black coffee.  

Answer 5

Organic Powdered kale or spinach. You can get it on Amazon  

Answer 6

Use the lettuce as a wrap for burgers. Add mustard, pickles, raw onions or whatever you'd like. Also wrap a grilled chicken breast with it

@dampier Yes, this is something that continued into maintenance. It’s easy to use big leaves to wrap all sorts of proteins.
