Fruits and veggies are vital for your health. Regardless if you like eating them naturally or not, you still need to intake the proper vitamins and nutrients that fruits and veggies have. There are certain supplements you can take as an alternative, but that is not as efficient.


If you are just not the biggest fan of the textures and tastes.. Maybe you can try mixing them with other foods and adding seasonings or flavors? For example, a smoothie or frozen yogurt can include many blended fruits and veggies to make it easier for picky eaters to eat them. Even for a simple bowl of spaghetti, sauce, and meatballs, you can include SO many veggies in that. There are tons of recipes online.

Re:Update. If prepping is the biggest issue, you could just do an online subscription that sends you frozen meals with all the meal preps including fruits and veggies. Hell, even canned fruits and veggies. A smoothie or juice every morning doesn’t take much time to prepare. You can add so many things and make it taste good; Ice, water milk, fruit juice, fruit, veggies, nuts, oats, sweeteners, etc.

Green peas are cheap and high in fibre and carrots are also affordable and so are radishes and bananas but it depends on your location, like potatoes are cheap in Canada but expensive in Australia and eggs are cheap in China but expensive in Canada etc… I don’t know your location or what foods are cheap where you live, like chicken and coffee are priced differently in different parts of America etc…

Most fruits and veggies don't need any prep time.

Carrots/Apples/Pears/Peaches/Strawberries/Cucumber/Tomatoes/Bell peppers/... Just wash them and eat them raw, maybe cut them a little bit, to eat them more comfortable, but thats it.

Bananas/Avocados/Melon/Kiwi/... you can eat them raw as well, it takes maybe 30sec prep time.

I'm talking more about things like kale, Spanich and other greens

In this case buy, shock frosted once, put them in the freezer and when you want to eat them, just slap them in a pot und cook them.

When shock frosted they still got most of the good stuff in them, so you won't miss out on the healthy parts.

Eat them anyway. They are important for your health. I don't know if there is a good substitute for entire classes of important foods.

My gastrointestinal doctor told me to add them to smoothies because for me fresh veggies and fruits tear my stomach to shreds.

There's almost nothing easier than frozen peas and carrots.
