Eating Green

organic fruits & veggies from a local produce co-op

 It's not too tough around here to come up with some natural green foods on St. Patrick's Day. We had this smoothie in the morning, and these potatoes at supper tonight, made with collard greens instead of kale. And at lunchtime, pancakes with minced spinach stirred into the batter. You barely taste the spinach, but it gives a nice green hue.

And while we're talking leafy greens, if you need some fresh ideas for your green smoothies, I recommend:
Green Smoothie Revolution by Victoria Boutenko
The Green Smoothies Diet by Robyn Openshaw
Both books have plenty of the why and how of green smoothies, with lots of recipes as well. Sometimes you need some inspiration for dandelion greens in your smoothie. Or maybe that's just me.
