Eating vegetables when you're on the go

Eating vegetables when you're on the go

Tip

With a little organization, it's easy to have vegetables on hand ready to be savoured at any time : sliced carrots or cucumbers, crunchy radishes or celery sticks...

Prepare seasoned vegetables

You can also prepare a mix of delicious seasoned cold vegetables, like a combination of cooked green beans, corn, rice seasoned with curry or a blend of mustard and fromage frais. Eat it with a plastic spoon. By dipping into a few cans you can put together a nice bowl of vegetables in a matter of seconds: mushrooms, chestnuts, chickpeas, peas, carrots, white beans...once they're drained, all you have to do is season them. Prepare a traditional vinaigrette using a few aromatic herbs or condiments like nuoc mam, mustard, ketchup, fromage frais and a mix of spices.

Grazing on the go or at home

A growing number of consumers prefer to "graze" when they're at home. They don't eat in the kitchen or the dining room, but often alone while doing something else: watching television, working, playing a video game, reading, and so on. Grazers can take vegetables along too. Cooked leeks or asparagus with vinaigrette, heated vegetable pancakes, a hot vegetable gratin...

Conclusion:

A little organization is all you need to ensure a nutritionally balanced diet : Some canned or jarred vegetables, a selection of "plain" frozen vegetables and a few prepared frozen vegetable dishes (pancakes, gratin)...and in minutes you have a fully balanced meal or snack for yourself or your family.
