When you think about getting a decent veggie intake for the day, you likely picture yourself cutting up cucumbers and tomatoes, filling a bowl with lettuce, decorating it with dressing, and sitting down at a table, possibly 30-plus minutes later, to eat.
While this can be nice when you have the time, have you ever considered shoveling a handful of greens directly into your mouth? Allow me to explain!
After a tik toker revealed that she eats more greens at every meal simply by grabbing arugula right out of the container and shoveling it in, I was hooked; intrigued even!
It requires a lot of chewing — similar to a dinosaur snacking on a tree branch — but it only takes a few minutes and then you’re done. With the Jurassic Park theme song playing triumphantly in the background, thousands of people stitched the video to show off their own dinosaur time.
According to dietary guidelines, it’s recommended to have two servings of fruit and three servings of vegetables a day, with a serving equal to about one cup.
Looking for more tips? We suggest you only eat pre-washed greens that come in a package. If yours aren’t washed, you should thoroughly rinse them first. We also emphasize that dinosaur time is not a meal replacement, just a fun way to get your greens in!
