I live in Berlin and buy all of my vegetables from a REWE or a Netto (both are supermarkets and are quite close to me). I have tried the Bio/Organic stores here and would like to buy from them, but they are a bit too far from where I live to buy regularly.

I have a standard routine on the weekdays for dinner,

1. salad with some protein and carbs(potatoes mostly). Salad always has a standard base of vegetables like lettuce, carrot, cucumber and sweet corn, with dressing (apple cider vinegar or yoghurt) and salt. Sometime I add the salad dressing mixes or raw mangoes or green apples just to keep it interesting. It's always 60% salad, 20% protein and 20% carbs for the meal.

2. A semi-gravy vegetable stir fry of mostly carrots, bell peppers and mushrooms with a rotating list of vegetables such as beetroot, beans, brussels sprout or broccoli. I cut them up in small chunks and roast them in the oven mixed with some olive oil and salt. Then I prepare a sauce (mostly experimental) and add the cooked vegetables into it and saute for a bit. I sometimes add meat or meat stock and have portion of it as a full meal. In case I am really hungry, I mix in some carbs in the form of brown rice or wheat tortilla.

I alternate between these 2 every night and I cook enough for it to be carried over as the next day's lunch.

Even if I go outside this routine(on weekends or cravings for fast food), I try to ensure that the meal I have at home is at least 50-60% vegetables, and salads tend to be the most easiest to make up for this balance.
