I blend spinach into eggs, my homemade waffle recipe, alfredo sauce and of course smoothies... my kids love them. Spinach is so mild you can't even taste it. My youngest calls it "special eggs".. eggs blended with spinach (turns the eggs green like Green Eggs and Ham), chopped spinach, peppers and onions. They also love any veggies sauteed or roasted. 😉
I thought of your pumpkin lasagna which I think you put a layer of spinach in. Really any casserole could benefit from adding hearty greens or broccoli, etc. Thanks for all the great ideas!
I’ve been googling/Pinteresting exactly this the last week! Thanks for reading my mind! A fellow Canadian who knows I don’t necessarily want a salad in this cold weather! 😂 🥑
Perhaps this is redundant, but I add spinach to all pasta sauces...red or white, cut in bite-sized ribbons, during the last few minutes, so they don't get overcooked. Made chips with Chinese cabbage tonight! Going to try adding it to hummus and salad dressings now! Want to try the lemon ginger dressing too. thanks for sharing your creativity!
Yum!! This might seem weird but I finely chop spinach (and if I’ve got it a little cilantro mint or basil too), and stir that into cooked rice (or quinoa). It stays raw but very slightly wilts which takes off the bitter edge and it bulks up carbs nicely so you get a bigger portion for barely any extra calories and get the added nutrients too (and added flavor if you add the herbs).
LOVE this video!! I’m so bad about getting my greens in, cuz I’m usually not crazy about salads 🙈 I love how these methods are so sneaky! Definitely giving some of them a try!
@@HealthNutNutrition That's why I am here! I only like salads that are mostly full of other things. I love the idea of using greens in dressings and sauces.
Another one is blending it into the wet ingredients of baked goods, or something I do more often that isn't quite a green but its adding extra veggies is shredding up zucchini or carrot and mixing it in with things like pasta sauce (for lasagna or stuffed shells) or with desserts
my favorit green smoothie combinations are: 1. corn salad with blue berries/billberies 2. chicoree and clementine with oats 3. arugula and red bell pepper 4. pineapple and red cabbage 5. bock choy and apple
I like vegetables and I wish I knew how to eat more of them. The problem is, I'm not creative enough to know how to combine things and make unique dishes. I have no idea how to make soups, salads, use spices and oils. All I know is how to steam boil and fry the vegetables themselves .
I know your comment is a year old but don't be discouraged, everyone starts somewhere! I suggest looking into roasting veggies! Cauliflower, pumpkin and potatoes all have the same roasting time if you cut them into roughly same sized pieces (30-40 mins at 360). Put in a bowl, cover in a couple spoons of oil, season with anything you like but definitely salt and pepper. You can also put some garlic cloves and big chunks of onion on the sheet pan, it will also add nice flavor. I like eating roasted veggies with a greek yogurt dip :) Another easy thing to start with is a basic potato soup. Cut onion, carrot and celery finely and fry it in you pot in some oil or butter or any fat you have. After a couple mins pour in stock (veggie, chicken, whatever) and add the cubed potatoes. Now let it boil on medium heat and check every couple mins if the potatoes are done. You can leave the soup as is or puree it and add a little cream. Into this soup base fit A TON of different veggies: leeks, cabbage, spinach, mushrooms, white beans, chickpeas
one of my favorits breakfasts is nargesi or green shackshuka, eggs poched in leafy greens with a bit of citrus and spicies like cumin and coriander or turmeric, it is very lovely and light and the egg is a great counterbalance against the at times somewhat bitter greens and the combination just tasts very nice.
This video helped me so much!!! You should turn this into a series - the next one could be "10 Ways to eat more protein without Eating meat!" or something like this :) I really struggle with my protein intake as I don't eat meat on a regular basis and I feel like a video like this could really help. Because I do love my meals the way they are now and all the other macros are great, but when it comes to protein... This girl is struggling... 💁🏻😂
I love these ideas!! I'm a huge greens and veggies eater as it is, but i love making it the primary of what i eat, and getting more in wherever possible. I love that all of these can be eaten during pregnancy too!
What blender do you use? I have a crappy blender and I've followed tips online but my green smoothies are always gritty, never smooth and I end up throwing it out.
I love putting carrot tops into pesto. Very subtle, but it gets you more greens and saves waste. I also love using beet greens and fennel greens (fennel turns a pesto into a different sauce though, it's strong)
Ronzoni (and maybe others) have a line of SuperGreens pasta, pasta with greens cooked right in. I love this as a way to eat more greens. And I saw a Pinterest recipe yesterday for banana muffins with spinach baked right in. Haven’t tried it yet, but I’ve never had a bad banana muffin!
YEAH ! ! ! ! VERY INTERESTING VIDEO ! ! ! .... I really love this ! ! ! ! .... Thanks for these recipes my friend and hello from PARIS .... FRANCE ! ! ! ! 🍊🍚💖🍄💛🍭😍🌟🍎🍓
I absolutely LOVE the idea of putting greens in my salad dressing!! That is awesome! I am going to confess here...I always buy a huge bag of spinach and kale and I end up throwing it out because it goes bad before I eat it! Ugh! My fault though because I never know what to do with it all except to put it on a salad! I am making the "green sandwich" for lunch tomorrow for my boyfriend and I after our gym workout! So excited to try that!!! Thank you for all of your suggestions! As always, much love!!
So glad to hear that you enjoyed these ideas! Honestly I go through greens so quickly because I use them in my smoothies etc! Once you start incorporating a couple of these ideas I think you'll easily eat all that spinach and kale!
idk why i love vegetables but i HATE salad i havent been a fan of salads since i was a kid and i dont see that changing anytime soon so im always looking for new recipes to add more vegetables to my life
