Not everyone enjoys eating their veggies. However, it is an essential part of leading a healthy lifestyle. Here are 10 creative and tasty ways for you to incorporate greens into your everyday life.

1. Smoothies

Smoothies are a fantastic way to sneak veggies, such as spinach, kale, and carrots into your body without tasting them at all!

2. Baked Goods

Zucchini, carrots, and spinach all fare very well in baked goods. If you've never tried chocolate chip zucchini bread, you need to!

3. Oatmeal

Adding zucchini to your oatmeal can give it a great new texture!

4. Pasta

Whether you put veggies in marinara sauce or put your classic broccoli in mac and cheese, adding veggies to pasta is an easy and delicious way to make your pasta dishes even more nutritious!

5. Kale Chips

These babies are so tasty that you'd never know they're veggies. Some olive oil, salt, and pepper are all you need before popping them in the oven!

6. Rice

I'm talking veggie rice. Cauliflower and broccoli both make great alternatives to regular rice!

7. Zoodles

Zoodles, also known as zucchini noodles, are another great replacement for a classic food. Zoodles can replace pasta in many of the dishes you love, and you won't even know the difference!

8. Eggs

Omelettes and scrambles are a great way to incorporate veggies, like spinach, peppers, and onions into your daily breakfast!

9. Juices

Similar to smoothies, by combining veggies with other fruits in the juicer, you can create some really tasty beverages!

10. Pizza

Who doesn't love pizza? Top it with your choice of veggies to make a great thing even better!

So, there you have it! 10 creative and tasty ways to help you incorporate more greens into food you eat everyday! Enjoy!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
