Tip #1: Have a green smoothie. Smoothies are easy to digest, rich in nutrients, and high in water content. Along with flax seeds, smoothies can increase the amount of fiber and EFA.
Tip #2: Have a green salad. For a green salad, you may choose from a large variety of foods rich in nutrients such as collard, turnip, and mustard greens, watercress, spinach, Swiss chard, cabbage, kale, Bok Choy, Brussels sprouts, arugula, and radish.
Tip #3: Try green soups. You may have a perfect St Patrick`s Day green soup if you combine green vegetables rich in vitamins and cashews instead of dairy products.
Tip #4: Choose kiwi instead of oranges. Kiwi is a great source of vitamin C and it`s considered to be one of the healthiest fruits, so you may get your daily recommended dose of vitamin C from kiwi instead of oranges.
Tip #5: Add broccoli to your diet. Broccoli is great for green soup and steamed broccoli works fine with most meals.
