But when I&#8217;m craving a smoky <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gousto.co.uk\/cookbook\/beef-recipes\/ultimate-cheeseburger-with-bacon-rosemary-fries\">bacon cheeseburger<\/a>, or a stack of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gousto.co.uk\/blog\/recipes\/breakfast-recipes\/pancakes\">pancakes<\/a> smothered in butter and maple syrup, it can be tough to opt for a salad or bowl of vegetables instead.<\/p>\n<p>Good thing I&#8217;m here to tell you, you can have the best of both! Here are 27 of my top sneaky ways to reach your 5-a-day and trick yourself into eating more veg.<\/p>\n<h3>1. Rustle up a veg-filled rag\u00f9<\/h3>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve not tried our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gousto.co.uk\/cookbook\/vegan-recipes\/10-min-lentil-ragu-with-spaghetti\">lentil rag\u00f9<\/a> yet, this pantry-friendly spaghetti dish isn&#8217;t just protein-packed, it also adds a rich, earthy flavour and counts towards your 5-a-day.<\/p>\n<p>More of a mushroom fan? This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gousto.co.uk\/cookbook\/recipes\/rich-mushroom-ragu-pappardelle\">mushroom rag\u00f9 pappardelle<\/a> isn&#8217;t just packed with veg, there&#8217;s so much savoury, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gousto.co.uk\/blog\/umami-guide-to-the-fifth-taste\">umami flavour<\/a> that you won&#8217;t miss the beef at all.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Add vegetables to pancakes<\/h3>\n<p>Next time you&#8217;re whipping up a stack of pancakes, add around half a cup of sweet potato, pumpkin or butternut squash mash for a sneaky serving of vegetables.<\/p>\n<p>Need a recipe? Discover <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gousto.co.uk\/blog\/fluffy-pancakes\">how to make american-style pancakes<\/a> on our blog.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Blend veggies into a smoothie<\/h3>\n<p>What&#8217;s your go-to smoothie? I love a mix of peanut butter, banana and almond milk, but try adding a sneaky handful of kale or spinach to your usual berry smoothie. I won&#8217;t lie, it turns your drink a scary colour, but you can&#8217;t taste the greens at all. Try our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gousto.co.uk\/blog\/green-juice\">green juice<\/a> recipe.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Spirialise veg into noodles<\/h3>\n<p>Dig out the spiraliser, because tonight we&#8217;re spiralising&#8230; cucumber? This refreshing hack is perfect for cold summer dishes like Yum Woon Sen, a Thai noodle salad.<\/p>\n<p>To make a simple version yourself, spiralise your cucumber, throw in some cooked glass noodles, minced garlic, sesame oil, soy, fish sauce and a big handful of chopped coriander. Finish with a squeeze of lime and some chopped peanuts and dive in!<\/p>\n<h3>5. Add more herbs<\/h3>\n<p>Speaking of chopped coriander, did you know tender herbs count as green veg? So while they&#8217;re in season, don&#8217;t be afraid to add heaps of them to your summer salads, curries and pastas, like this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gousto.co.uk\/cookbook\/recipes\/spanakopita-style-herby-gnocchi\">Spanakopita-style Gnocchi<\/a> with plenty of basil and dill.<\/p>\n<h3>6. Veggie mac &amp; cheese<\/h3>\n<p>This comfort food will always be a favourite, no matter how old you are! So when the craving kicks in, cauliflower is the ultimate sneaky vegetable \u2013 it&#8217;s basically undetectable! Or for more flavour, add leeks to your sauce and top with roasted cherry tomatoes like in our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gousto.co.uk\/cookbook\/recipes\/leek-roasted-tomato-mac-n-cheese\">Leek &amp; Roasted Tomato Mac &#8216;N&#8217; Cheese.<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>7. Sweet potato mash<\/h3>\n<p>Whether it&#8217;s topping a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gousto.co.uk\/cookbook\/lamb-recipes\/minty-shepherds-pie-veg\">Minty Shepherd&#8217;s Pie<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gousto.co.uk\/cookbook\/chicken-recipes\/creamy-chicken-potato-topped-pie\">Chicken Pie<\/a> or adding a side to your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gousto.co.uk\/cookbook\/pork-recipes\/swedish-meatballs-mash-green-beans\">Swedish Meatballs<\/a>, add extra nutritional value and fibre to your dinner by sneaking sweet potato into your usual potato mash.<\/p>\n<h3>8. Lettuce wraps<\/h3>\n<p>Lettuce makes a surprisingly delicious stand-in for bread and tortilla wraps, especially when balancing rich fillings like these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gousto.co.uk\/cookbook\/recipes\/korean-style-spicy-pork-belly-lettuce-cups\">Korean-Style Pork Belly Lettuce Cups<\/a> with fiery chilli sauce.<\/p>\n<h3>9. Veg up your cheese toastie<\/h3>\n<p>When the cravings call for a cheese toastie, they&#8217;re an easy way to sneak in some extra veg. Chuck a few extra tomatoes, onions or grilled mushrooms in your sandwich before grilling. Sound good? Try our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gousto.co.uk\/cookbook\/recipes\/btr-greek-grilled-cheese-pepper-toastie-with-fries\">Grilled Cheese &amp; Pepper Toastie<\/a> perfect for any lunch or dinner.<\/p>\n<h3>10. Bulk up your burgers<\/h3>\n<p>Sneaking finely chopped mushrooms into your beef burgers not only ramps up the nutritional value, it brings an extra layer of delicious umami flavour. Just be sure to saut\u00e9e them first to fry off the moisture and concentrate the mushroom flavour.<\/p>\n<p>Or ramp up your 5-a-day in one sitting with this protein-packed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gousto.co.uk\/cookbook\/vegan-recipes\/lentil-sweetcorn-burger-with-chipotle-mayo\">Lentil &amp; Sweetcorn Burger<\/a> with smoky chipotle mayo.<\/p>\n<h3>11. Hollandaise, but make it healthy<\/h3>\n<p>This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foodandwine.com\/recipes\/avocado-hollandaise\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">healthier hollandaise<\/a> is made with avocados instead of butter. Perfect to add to a number of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gousto.co.uk\/blog\/classic-brunch-recipes\">weekend brunch recipes<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>12. Bake your eggs in avocado<\/h3>\n<p>Love avocado and eggs? For a protein rich breakfast that&#8217;ll keep you full all morning, grab an avocado, drop an egg in the centre and bake (or air fry) until <i>just <\/i>set.<\/p>\n<h3>13. Shake up your shakshuka<\/h3>\n<p>This recipe for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gousto.co.uk\/cookbook\/vegetarian-recipes\/spiced-shakshuka-with-feta-crunchy-pitta\">Spiced Shakshuka<\/a> is packed with red pepper, tomatoes, spinach and red onion, but if you&#8217;re feeling extra green a diced courgette would work great in this too.<\/p>\n<h3>14. Swap chips for veggie fries<\/h3>\n<p>Sweet potato is a great replacement for potato when you want your chip fix. If you&#8217;re looking for something a little different, lightly coat courgettes, green beans and carrots in panko breadcrumbs, and bake (or air fry) until crisp and golden. These make the perfect dippers for hummus or sweet chilli mayo.<\/p>\n<h3>15. Spice up your chilli<\/h3>\n<p>Either by sneaking extra vegetables into your sauce (like green and red pepper) or try serving up a vegan version with our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gousto.co.uk\/cookbook\/vegan-recipes\/chilli-non-carne-baked-sweet-potato-guac\">chilli non carne<\/a> served on a baked sweet potato with a delicious dollop of guac, for more fibre and vitamins.<\/p>\n<h3>16. Level up your cookie dough<\/h3>\n<p>Carrot or sweet potato mash aren&#8217;t just a healthy side dish, they work brilliantly in cookie dough too. Your treats will be just as tasty, but with a hidden health boost. Discover more tasty <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gousto.co.uk\/blog\/veg-packed-desserts\">vegetable dessert recipes<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>17. Add a surprise to scrambled eggs<\/h3>\n<p>For the ultimate sneaky trick, grate cauliflower and fry it in a pan before adding your eggs and giving it a good scramble. You could even replace eggs with tofu for a tasty tofu scramble on toast.<\/p>\n<h3>18. Frittata it<\/h3>\n<p>Nothing says lazy weekend morning quite like an egg-heavy brunch. So if that scramble wasn&#8217;t enough, mix eggs and potatoes with veggies like green beans, pepper and asparagus for the ultimate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gousto.co.uk\/cookbook\/recipes\/veg-packed-spanish-style-omelette-with-garlic-aioli\">veg-packed frittata<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>19. Make kale crisps<\/h3>\n<p>Crispy, salty and packed with vitamins A, C and K, kale crisps have to be the tastiest way to eat a heap of kale in one go. Need a crispy kale recipe? Try our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gousto.co.uk\/cookbook\/vegan-recipes\/baked-sesame-tofu-peanut-sauce-crispy-kale\">sesame tofu with spicy peanut sauce<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If you prefer a mix of veggies, try out these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gousto.co.uk\/blog\/healthy-homemade-snacks-recipes-ideas\">homemade vegetable crisps<\/a> that also save on food waste.<\/p>\n<h3>20. Get saucy<\/h3>\n<p>Spinach is the easiest way to sneak extra vegetables into your sauces. Whizz up a handful with your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gousto.co.uk\/cookbook\/chicken-recipes\/walnut-cheddar-pesto-chicken-bulgur\">homemade pesto<\/a>, or wilt it into rag\u00f9s, curries or stews.<\/p>\n<h3>21. Healthy hash browns<\/h3>\n<p>Have some leftover veg in the fridge? Swap frozen hash browns for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gousto.co.uk\/cookbook\/recipes\/cheesy-bubble-squeak-fried-egg-walnut-salad\">cheesy bubble and squeak<\/a>, and tuck some extra veg into your morning.<\/p>\n<h3>22. Give grain bowls a go<\/h3>\n<p>Grain bowls are the easiest, tastiest way to bundle 2-3 extra servings of vegetables into your meal. Check out this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gousto.co.uk\/blog\/how-to-buddha-bowl-easy\">how to make a buddha bowl<\/a> recipe to make your own.<\/p>\n<h3>23. Veggie fried rice<\/h3>\n<p>Hot wok. Cold rice. Endless possibilities.<\/p>\n<p>This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gousto.co.uk\/cookbook\/fish-recipes\/10-min-thai-prawn-fried-rice-with-greens\">10-Minute Thai Fried Rice<\/a> recipe is packed with prawns and spring greens, but vegetables like peppers, peas or cabbage work well too.<\/p>\n<h3>24. Homemade hummus<\/h3>\n<p>This bright pink <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gousto.co.uk\/cookbook\/vegan-recipes\/beetroot-hummus-roast-veg-buddha-bowl\">beetroot hummus and roast veg buddha bowl<\/a> isn&#8217;t just great for you, it&#8217;s a total showstopper.<\/p>\n<h3>25. Disguise greens in brownies<\/h3>\n<p>Want an extra dollop of goodness in your dessert? I recently made these easy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellplated.com\/avocado-brownies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">avocado brownies<\/a> &#8211; replacing butter with avocado. They&#8217;re squidgy, fudgy and don&#8217;t taste green at all!<\/p>\n<h3>26. Pile veggies on pizza<\/h3>\n<p>This one&#8217;s easy. Before you pop your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gousto.co.uk\/blog\/no-yeast-pizza-dough\">pizza<\/a> in the oven, throw on a few extra vegetables to up your 5-a-day.<\/p>\n<h3>27. Cut up a stash to keep in the fridge<\/h3>\n<p>Whether you&#8217;re a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gousto.co.uk\/blog\/10-easy-filling-meal-prep-healthy-breakfasts\">meal prepper<\/a> or not, after a long day, a Tupperware full of pre-chopped vegetables is a lifesaver when you need to add goodness to a meal quickly.<\/p>\n<p>Need more make-ahead dinner ideas?
