How can I eat healthy without eating pieces of fruit and vegetable?
I have a little problem. Well, actually a pretty big one. To be healthy you should eat 3-6 pieces of fruit and vegetables. But I just can’t eat it that way without nearly vomiting. I do however like soup and orange juice and everything which contains no pieces. Problem is, I only eat soup once or twice a week and orange juice can’t replace my daily need.
What can I do to eat more healthy? Does frozen soup contain all the vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that fresh soup does? That might be a solution.
How about eating/drinking things like orange juice and soup and working your way up to fruits and veggies. You’re probably just not used to eating them!

Wow-eating healthy/well can be achieved in many different ways. For example, it will be very difficult to continue eating healthy unless you look at it as a lifestyle change. Variety is what I think you are asking for.
V-8, Steam your vegetables, add them to broth. Sides on a plate. Incorporate them into sauces, such as curry, pasta sauce. Incorporate your vegetables into eggs or egg whites if you prefer. Use Grapeseed oil to fry.Cooked spinach is a great source. Green Vegetables-Don’t overcook-shock them in an ice bath to stop the cooking, while they are still a bright green. Salad!
Fruits-Smoothies-try to stay away from juices with added sugar. Pommagranets (sp) great source of anti-oxidents and you can put them on top of a salad, incorporate with rice. Roasted Vegetable Sandwiches or Roasted Vegetable Salad-Use Vinegar (balsamic or any one you like to add a bit of acid to the salad). Have it warm to really bring out some smokey flavors. Don’t be afraid to use a little bit of your favorite cheese. Unless of course you are on a low cholesterol diet, then I would suggest using Fresh Italian Riccota, low fat cottage cheese (drained of course) mozzarella-any fresh cheese. Herbs will make a meal really come alive. I suggest using fresh herbs, unless what ever it is you are making requires long stew times. Citrus fruits are in season-try pink grapefruit (dont do grapefruit if you are on a cholesterol reducing medication-I think that grapefruit may be contra indicated), oranges, red onion and fennel leaf with a white fish. Get some blood orange vinegar. Yummy-It’s a great way to dress a salad without incorparating oil. I guess the way that I keep healthy is to try and incorporate fruits and vegies into all of my meals, I look at them as a main course or side course to compliment my meal.
If you buy canned-check the sodium content, especially in tomato’s.
I’m not a big fan of processed soups-frozen, canned, dehydrated as they are loaded with sodium. However, get yourself a juicer. You can freeze the juice and cook and reheat at a low tempurature. Turn it into a soup or a sauce.
If you are worried about getting all of your vitamins, take a pill. But a pill wont keep you regular like fruits and veggies.

Buy a juicer or osterizer. Process your fresh fruits & veggies weekly and freeze in your ice tray: Defrost to perepare it for a snack or meal. Or process it when you want to eat.
Make a big pot of soup once a week and refrigerate the rest for eating during the week — or freeze leftovers in serving size portions.
