Easy Ways to Add More Greens to Your Day

Many of us would like to eat more greens but struggle to fit them in. A few easy swaps can help.

Blend them. Add a handful of spinach to a fruit smoothie. The fruit covers the taste, and you barely notice the greens.

Add them to what you already cook. Stir chopped kale or spinach into soups, pasta sauces and scrambled eggs.

Make a salad base. Keep washed greens in the fridge so a salad takes two minutes to put together.

Try a greens powder. Mix a scoop into water or a smoothie for a quick way to add variety on busy days.

Mix up the colors. Different leafy greens bring different flavors and textures, which keeps meals interesting.
