"This is Rachael with Nutrolution in Miami Beach Florida. In this clip we're talking about how to cook your veggies. Now I work with a lot of people who have a lot of reasons why they don't eat enough vegetables, and always, always, always, it's one of the most important things that we can all do to improve our health. So one of the first things about cooking more vegetables is making sure that you have vegetables in your home. And for those of you who don't go grocery shopping very often, or who are very, very busy, I suggest keeping some frozen vegetables in your freezer, and actually that's what I do in addition to buying fresh ones. But I always keep some frozen vegetables in my freezer, so that if I don't have anything fresh, that I know that I can pull something out of my freezer and just cook it right there on the spot. A couple favorites of mine are frozen green beans. And the way that I prepare these, and actually with all vegetables- here's another, frozen asparagus. One thing important about all vegetables is that you start with some sort of healthy fat, the other thing is that you add some sea salt to your vegetables, and that you add something like garlic, or onions, or ginger to the vegetable, depending on which one it is, to make sure that it's tasty, delicious, and all the nutrients are available.
