1. Add a dark green into your favorite soups! Kale, chard and beet greens are scarcely noticeable in a large pot of soup! And, they add a good texture to almost any soup you make!
2.Green smoothies are a "great" way to get in your greens! You can't taste them at all, and while you are sipping away you are filling your body with healthy nutrients! So.......get your blender out and make your favorite smoothie recipe, but be sure to add in your greens! Romaine, spinach and lettuce are mild, protein rich greens that won't have a taste!
3.Tomato sauce is another way you can get your greens in! You can blend up a couple of your most mild greens like spinach or romaine, and add to the spaghetti sauce! You won't be able to taste it at all! Adding some fresh herbs like basil or thyme to your spaghetti sauce will give it added health benefit and flavor! (Just make sure not to add too many greens.......you don't want your spaghetti sauce to be brown!)
4.Okay, for those of you who aren't crazy about greens, but don't necessarily "not like" them, you might want to try a good hearty salad! Most of the time if you have a really good dressing, the taste of the greens is pretty slim! Here is one of my favorite salad dressings:
1 Avocado
2-3 TB. of Lemon juice
2 TB. of purified water
1 tsp. of sea salt
Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
Fresh herbs from the garden like basil, tarragon, or dill
Blend well in your blender and pour over a bowl full of tasty greens!
This is a simple healthy salad dressing recipe that will get you on your way to eating your greens!
