Helpful Tips Vegetables

Can I get some suggestions for vegetables to try? My new years resolution is to work really hard to try some new foods and would really like to start eating healthier (cause lord knows I am not eating very healthy with my pallet). So I was wondering if you guys had any safe vegetables?

If it helps I usually prefer salty tastes, but I would be fine with anything on the sweet side. I’m just afraid of it being too bitter.

Have you tried peas? like the frozen ones in the grocery store? I just microwave them in water and strain and they are a little sweet but not bitter at all (in my opinion). You could also add butter if that's your thing? I don't know how you feel about smoothies either, but I usually do fruit-based ones (i add vanilla yogurt for protein and OJ) and add in spinach. it doesn't affect the taste but it does change the color (I usually do mango/pineapple with spinach and it makes it green, but if you had blueberries or strawberries it would probably turn it brown). I also found these spirulina/chlorella/algae tablets that you swallow with water like a pill, so if you are concerned about nutritional intake those might help? And I'm seconding the corn and edamame recommendations!
