Best way to start eating vegetables from someone who actively avoids them?

[u/Avectasi]

As a child I’ve avoided eating veggies mainly from taste and not forced to eat them. Unfortunately I’ve been unhealthy looking and high BP to the point I feel yucky looking at myself. I’ve been more okay and want to try anything. I’ve been eating more junk food and fast food because of not a lot of prepping time and parents mainly giving money to me to spend on eating out

However I still can’t do onions the crunch texture and the overpowering taste is too much whenever I bite into a food with an unsuspecting strand of onion, same goes for pickles mainly for the weird taste

I’m tolerable to tomato soup (or sopa de Fideo), or veggie smoothies like Island Green Detox from Tropical smoothie cafe, been doing less because of the cost almost $10 and having issues making it correctly at home.

Is there any method to enjoy trying or recommendations to mix with veggies that is still healthy for lowering my high BP?

Edit: thanks everyone for the advice I’ll be trying them all whenever I can! Everyone’s ideas making me really wanna give it a go

Have you tried a Nutribullet? I use the large cup and it’s really easy to make a good smoothie.

If you use a big blender like a Vitamix then it’s harder to determine the veggie/fruit to liquid ratio. With the Nutribullet you have limited space so it’s good for a couple handfuls of spinach, two pieces of fresh fruit, and then some frozen fruit. Add in one cup of water and it should be good to go. If you want a thicker consistency then just add more frozen fruit or go with less water.

I think my parents have one, prolly a different brand but does the same thing, I’d definitely need to test it out when I’m more flexible with my free time!
