- Make vegetable juice.

- Serve a green salad with every main meal. Use olive oil, fresh lemon juice or balsamic vinegar and finely chopped herbs for a dressing.

- Make fresh pasta sauces from vegetables. Broccoli or cauliflower florets, chopped red onion, cherry tomatoes or chopped regular tomatoes, or finely shaved fennel can be tossed into just drained hot pasta and eaten immediately.

Carrots, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, turnips and beetroot can be all roasted in a hot oven and are perfectly delicious without adding anything to them.
