I enjoy carrots but recently they’ve given me a terrible feeling in the back of my throat when I eat them, so I need to chop them up to put them in something. I keep frozen peas and romaine around; that’s about the extent of my success. Spring mix is a bit bitter for my taste and I don’t like the flavor of raw zucchini. I’ll try out basil.
I don’t like chips in general and definitely not seaweed; perhaps I’ll give V8 a try though.
A fix for bitterness in vegetables is to add salt. I always salt my spring mix (after dressing it with oil and vinegar).
Most non-chefs don’t use enough salt in their cooking for optimal flavor. That said, salt depends heavily on the individual, so in many cases it’s OK to salt at the table.

Have you tried grating carrots? My impression is that grating will reduce them to smaller pieces faster than chopping does.
A little bit, but I hate cleaning graters and grating with a peeler is much slower than chopping. Perhaps I’ll try it again though.
Maybe a cheap food processor? I got one at a salvation army-type place for $5. Though getting a more expensive one would make cleaning a lot easier.
