3 Simple Ways to Increase Your Leafy Greens in Your Diet

Mar 17

What color do you think of when you think of St. Patrick's Day?

Since green is the color of St. Patrick's Day we thought we'd share three simple ways to add more greens into your diet. Even though dark leafy greens are packed with important nutrients, such as vitamin A, vitamin C, antioxidants, fiber, folate, vitamin K, magnesium, calcium, iron, and potassium, many of us are not getting enough. Here’s more details on why you need those leafy greens in your diet.

Not to worry, we've got you covered with some simple tips on how to get more leafy greens into your diet...

1. Make a smoothie! Smoothies are an easy, nutritious-packed way to add in greens like spinach and kale into your diet especially if you're not a big fan of the taste.

Check out our Remix Recipe page for a delicious Green Goddess Smoothie recipe from our own registered dietitian, and don't forget to book your one-on-one with her if you're a member with us.
Or, you can pick up a smoothie from one of our neighbors Clean Juice or Aloha Smoothie. Members of Remix receive 10% off their smoothies! Check out all of our Membership Perks.

2. Make a salad. Nothing is more simple than throwing some delicious leafy greens into a salad (well, ordering one from My Chef Catering would be!) Romaine, arugula, mesclun, baby spinach, kale, watercress and radish greens are all delicious options.
