5 ways to eat more greens

5 ways to eat more greens

Green veggies are low in fat, high in fibre and packed with the vitamins and minerals our bodies need to stay healthy. Most importantly - done right, they taste really good!

5 ways to make greens your friend:

*Hide them. Add spinach, courgettes or broccoli to your fave casserole or lasagne. They’ll take on the flavours of the dish and you won’t even know they’re in there!

*Dip them. Pack some celery (and carrots) with hummus for lunch.

*Try something you wouldn’t normally eat. For example, bok choy and other Asian greens are really easy to cook and taste great with a bit of garlic and soy sauce. And they’re typically cheap to buy!

*Drink them. Spirulina is a great source of ‘green food’. It can get expensive buying it out all the time, so either buy in bulk at the supermarket…or make your own!

*Keep a bag of baby spinach in the fridge - a handful goes great with everything from couscous to eggs!

This tasty broccoli and tuna pasta is quick and easy to make - and a great way to get a dose of greens!

Remember: by adding just a couple of servings of greens, like spinach, beans or broccoli, to your diet every day, you can make a real difference to your health!

I don’t like spinach or silverbeet, but fry it with cabbage or put it in a soup and I’ll eat it!

Spinach is good with anything and works really well for sauteing. A yummy green to remember is Swiss Chard….it goes with a lot. Asparagus is just a no brainer smile
