If you have a library close to you, or a used book store, look up vegetarian and Vegan recipe cook books with whole foods for fun.

Google, Different Vegetables. Most can be steamed, boiled, baked, but steaming is better for you.

Try to steer clear of oils or cooking in oils. Try to lessen salt, and drink at least 2.5 liters of water a day.

Add seasonings such as herbs. Try dill, rosemary, thyme, watercress, coriander, basil, ect ect

Get your healthy fats, avocado, olives, coconuts,

If you're worried about your protein, get in lots of greens like spinach, kale, dandelion, chard, beet greens

They are not good protein sources - but are rich in a range of vitimins and minerals.

- you can make salads or steam them, or put them in a smoothie in a blender... & legumes

Legumes are good protein sources, but don't contain all the essential amino acids, so a variety of legumes, nuts, tofu, lentils, chickpeas etc is best for ensuring complete protein profile.

Broccoli, Cauliflower, Mushrooms, baby cabbage (also known as brussel sprouts)

The more variety, the more color, the healthier you'll be. :)

You can't go wrong with that!
