1. Spinach

Spinach is the best vegetable to consume when trying to lose weight.

Enjoy spinach in a green smoothie, a salad with lupini beans, or a salad in a Mason jar.

2. Broccoli

It is also an excellent method to consume more fiber.

I enjoy roasting broccoli coated in extra-virgin olive oil and seasonings.

3. Spaghetti squash

It serves as an ideal low-calorie alternative to conventional spaghetti.

Add the vegetable to poultry spaghetti squash, marinara spaghetti squash, and chickpea-stuffed spaghetti squash with kale curry.

4. Brussels sprouts

They are extremely low in calories, but can make you feel less hungry after consuming them.

Prepare Brussels sprouts grilled, with a grape honey marinade, or sautéed in shreds.

5. Green peas

I typically keep frozen green peas on hand to add color to soups.

The green jewels can also be added to green pea soup or healthy farro fried rice.

6. Sweet potato

With a touch more fiber than white potatoes, sweet potatoes have a sweet flavor that complements foods like kale and black beans.

Additionally, you can prepare sweet potato crust pizza and sweet potato beet hash.
