Why I Eat a Big Bowl of Greens & Veggies Every Damn Day!

My go to dinner bowl - A mix of chopped spinach, cucumber, roasted tofu, broccoli, avocado. bell peppers with a simple olive oil & apple cider vinegar dressing.

Nothing makes my body feel as good as fiber-rich, nutrient-dense foods do.

For years, I focused on cutting things out—eating less, skipping meals, avoiding carbs. But when I started focusing on adding more, everything changed.

Now, the one thing I swear by every single day? A big, fiber-packed bowl of vegetables and greens. Because no matter what else I eat in the day, I know that this one meal supports my gut, balances my blood sugar, keeps my digestion happy, and leaves me feeling good.

The Underrated Benefits of Eating More Veggies

• Gut Health → The fiber in veggies acts as prebiotics, feeding the good bacteria in your gut.

• Hormone Balance → Cruciferous veggies (like kale, broccoli, and cabbage) help flush out excess estrogen.

• Blood Sugar Stability → Eating fiber first slows glucose spikes, leading to steady energy instead of crashes.

• Craving Control → More nutrients = less mindless snacking.

How to Make It More Exciting

I get it—eating plain steamed veggies is not it. But when you build a bowl that’s colorful, well-seasoned, and balanced, it stops feeling like an obligation and starts feeling like a luxury.

Here’s how I make mine:

• Greens – Always start with a base of spinach, kale, arugula, or mustard greens.

• Fiber-rich veggies – Roasted cauliflower, sautéed mushrooms, steamed zucchini, or fresh shredded cabbage.

• Healthy fats – Avocado, hemp seeds, nuts, or tahini dressing.

• A bright acid – Lemon juice, balsamic glaze, or fermented veggies for extra gut benefits.

I genuinely look forward to this part of my day—because it feels good, it tastes good, and it sets the tone for how I want to nourish my body.
