Eating dark, leafy greens is so important for your body and your brain, and most people are not getting in enough. Here is how you can eat them in every meal in totally different ways!
Breakfast
In many cultures, people actually eat salads for breakfast, so it’s not as strange as it seems. Toast some whole wheat bread and pile it high with arugula, spinach, and seasonal veggies! They key is to season everything well so it tastes yummy, so make sure to first toss the greens with your favorite vinaigrette or even just lime juice.
Lunch
Pack yourself a green smoothie to eat alongside your lunch, so no matter what you have as your main meal, you know you’ll be getting in your greens! Just throw any frozen fruit into a blender with milk or water, tons of greens, and blitz away.
Dinner
Besides actually having a salad, the best way to get in your greens after a long day is to hide it in something really yummy like a sauce.
Pesto is the one of the easiest because it’s raw and comes together in a food processor! Combine basil, nuts, a little Parmesan, a clove of garlic, and plenty of greens in a food processor. Run it and drizzle in olive oil until it’s the perfect consistency. Use on chicken, pasta, or whatever you love!
