25 Ways to Add Fruits and Veggies
Here at Be More With Less, topics are usually about less. Today, you get to hear about MORE! Bill Gerlach, from The New Pursuit reminded me that October is Vegetarian Awareness Month.
There are many meat substitutes and endless choices of fresh flavorful fruits and vegetables, that a transition to vegetarianism is easier than you think.
There is much to be said about a vegetarian diet in terms of health benefits (for humans and animals). I wrote about why I became a vegetarian and what compels me to stick with it here.
Bill challenged bloggers to write 2 vegetarian themed posts this month. Since I am a blogger, a vegetarian and love a good challenge, I bring you…

If you are considering vegetarianism, instead of initially eliminating meat, think about adding more veggies. Carrot sticks and celery have their place, but they get old fast, so get creative. What ideas would you add to this list?
Let me know if you are interested in my favorite recipe for hummus or amazing sesame tomato soup!

I would LOVE to read your tomato-sesame-soup recepie.
I will post my five favs next week! All really easy and really yum!
I’m interested in your recipes!
I would love to try your recipes!
I just finished my first Veggie Hummus Wrap ever – and I’m totally impressed. Thanks for the list!
Would love the recipes! Thanks for the list!
Thanks Courtney, I love finding exciting lists of veggie foods for inspiration. My diet needs a little spicing up so I’m open to new ideas. Mashed potato pizza sounds like dinner tonight!! Yum.
Two foods that Leo Babauta recommends are apinach and avocadoes! I love both!

Hey Courtney!
Awesome list! And a great way to add variety to your diet. That’s the number one key to successful full-time vegetarian eating. My favorites from your list: Pretty much all of them — especially when we grow a bunch of those things in our garden!
Be well and thanks for taking up the challenge!
As a veggie mama, this post makes me smile immensely. You would not believe the number of people who tried to convince me that as a pregnant/nursing mother, vegetarianism was not an option for me. Some people went so far as to tell me I was hurting my child by pursuing a meat free diet.
I plan on raising my son as a vegetarian, and your list gave me lots of good ideas to spice up our menu. My favorite veggie dish is lentil/vegetable tacos and my famous lentils and pasta with cumin collard greens.
I would love your recipe for humus if you’re willing to share it. I haven’t been able to find a recipe that I like as of yet and I’m always on the look out for good ones.
In Christ,
Anne Marie
Wow, I would LOVE your recipes! What a dynamite post, love it!!!
Yeah you are right, I eat less fruits and that is not so good!
So after your awaking me I will taste more fruits build in my day as a snack.
Hope it helps!
