It shouldn't matter if they're cooked or raw.

And if you're allowed broth, I'd make a soup outta those veggies. :)

I found early out for me cooked veggies were a little easier to manage! Either way just remember that you have to chew chew chew! Raw must be careful not to swallow in too big of a hard chuck and cooked must be careful to not swallow a mushed together mound! It all should be chewed well and swallowed in small bite sized portions!

P.S. I LOVED cooked broccoli and cauliflower early out! It went down really well for me!
