Adding More Vegetables to Meals
If you are new here (welcome!) then you’ll learn right away that one of our #1 goals is to help people add more veggies to their meals.
Following a Mediterranean diet means that you are already focused on adding more plant based dishes to your meals. A diet that’s high in vegetables can really help add more dietary fiber, vitamins, minerals that have a whole host of health benefits. Adding more plants can decrease cholesterol, improve heart health and offer increased protection from developing certain cancers.

Roasting Vegetables
