How to Fall in Love with Your Veggies: 3 Steps to a Tastier, Healthier Plate

Let’s get real—eating vegetables isn’t always the highlight of our day. Maybe you grew up with soggy broccoli, or maybe you just never found a way to make greens exciting. At Unity, we know the struggle. But we also know that veggies are nature’s powerhouses—fueling your workouts, powering your recovery, and nourishing every part of your life.

That’s why we created this three-step guide, not just to help you prep your vegetables—but to enjoy them. Because when you flavor, layer, and treat your veggies right, they’re not just good for you—they’re craveable.

1️⃣ CHALLENGE: Open up to New Flavours

What’s one veggie you rarely eat (or always avoid)? That’s your starting point.

Think of veggies like an adventure. On one end you’ve got mild, familiar friends—cucumber and carrots. On the other, bold, misunderstood heroes like fennel, beets, or radish.

Pick a new veggie and promise yourself: "I’m going to try this in a new way." Do a little research, get curious, and bring playfulness into your kitchen—that’s how new favorites are born!

2️⃣ COMPLEMENT: Make Your Taste Buds Dance

You wouldn’t do a workout with just one movement—layering is key. The same goes for flavor.

Select two flavors to bring your veggie to life. Feel like something bold? Add a little chili or a sprinkle of curry. Want zesty? Go for lemon or vinegar. Craving something savory? Olives and soy sauce never disappoint.

Mix spice, sour, and salty in ways that wake up your plate—and your senses. You deserve more than bland bites; make every mouthful an experience!

3️⃣ CUSHION: The Comfort Factor

Let’s be honest—sometimes veggies need a little cozy hug. This is where sweet and fat come in.

Try tossing in roasted apple bits, a handful of nuts, some creamy avocado, or even a drizzle of honey. Suddenly, that once-boring vegetable becomes the star of your meal—comforting, indulgent, and so much more satisfying.

NOW PICK YOUR METHOD: Cook with Confidence

How you prepare veggies totally changes their vibe.

• Crave crunch? Go raw in a slaw or salad.

• Love warmth? Steam for tenderness and color.

• Seeking deep flavor? Sauté with garlic until golden.

• Time for comfort? Braise in broth for melt-in-your-mouth goodness.

  
  

Don’t be afraid to experiment. Cooking is self-care—a chance to nourish your body, express creativity, and even heal.

• Kale, lemon, sunflower seeds, and a little olive oil: A power bowl in minutes.

When you prepare veggies with flavor, kindness, love and a little creativity, you’re not just feeding yourself—you’re showing self-respect.

So here’s our challenge: try one “veggie adventure” this week. Share your creation—tag us, tell us your story, and know that every time you try, you’re making progress.
