Side Dish Help

[jj7481 363]

Ok, so I've got a pretty good grasp on Proteins during stage 3. My question is: what side dishes are you fabulous folks making to supplement your meal(s)?

Zucchini or Cauliflower most of the time. really didn't get to the point to having room for them until almost 3 months out though.

For lunch I rotate between artichoke hearts (frozen, not the ones in a jar coated in oil), green Beans, and grilled asparagus. I keep it super-simple with just light Salad Dressing or a bit of grass-fed butter to dress them.

For dinner, I rotate between brussels sprouts, broccoli, and cauliflower. I roast them in the oven with olive oil spray and some herbs & spices. I also add some chopped dark leafy greens or avocado to tuna, salmon, or sardine salad.< /p>

Broccoli (steamed) is a frequent one for me. It's almost always the side I order if I'm out at a restaurant.

Greens like collards are a favorite, too.

Occasionally I'll have refried Beans or other types of Beans.< /p>

I'm all about the entree, though......the meat.

One of my go to's is green Beans. Starting with my soft phase I often add green beans to my meal. I like the single serve green beans but my absolute favorite are green beans from Lee's chicken. I often keep a large in my fridge and add one or two tablespoons to my meal. Easy.

I enjoy turnips and carrots mashed or pureed together with a little artificial sweetener added. They freeze very well and you can simply scoop out a spoon full at a time and warm it. For some reason early on this mix settled better in the tummy than many other veggies.

That's a great starting point. Thanks all!

Just to add, simply adding something like sliced fresh Tomato or avocado makes a good side for me. It doesn't have to be fancy.

I definitely underutilize avocado.
