Adding Vegetables (and or lentils) to your diet

Add pureed vegetables or lentils to you baked goods (for example muffins) or add them to your chili, lasagna or pasta dishes.  Cooked vegetables or lentils and puree them in food processor.

Quick alternative: baby food.  I just added apple/strawberry baby food to my regular muffin recipe and they were great.  Baby food doesn’t have any added sugar or salt – result a healthy quick food!  I have been adding pureed 5 bean blend to my muffin recipe and my grandaughter loves them.  A creative way to get vegetables and beans.  Experiment and have fun.
