Thanks for these great ideas. I ♡ that it is spring and greens are easier to find fresh. Plus warmer weather helps me to not cook as much so I eat more salads.
I have a lot of trouble eating greens because I can’t eat spinach and similar high oxalate greens, so this is very helpful, I love chimichuri and I completely forgot about it! Do you perhaps know of other low oxalate greens, such as parsley?
Loved this! Quick question for your expertise though. I recently had a huge Asian market open nearby with greens I’ve never seen or heard of before that I’m excited to try. What would you say is the bigger factor, getting tons of greens into the diet because of their benefits or making sure that those greens are quality, organic produce? I don’t know if you know what I mean when I say I don’t exactly feel the most comfortable with some random, unlabeled product, ya know?
It’s like you read my mind! Thank you very much for this useful vid. This feels like a good friend giving me advise on eating healthy and free from judgment.
This is such a great, practical video!! I’m definitely trying that hummus tip – never would have thought of that! Also, another tip that’s helped me a lot, is to chop greens SUPER tiny when cooking them. I have such a texture aversion to cooked greens, so biting into a whole leaf of cooked spinach is disgusting to me. But teeny tiny bits of spinach I don’t mind at all. It’s really helped me get more greens into my cooking. 🙂
You are such a joy to watch. Your enthusiasm, expression, and energy flows through the screen. You’re the most genuine YouTuber I follow. Never stop! 🌿🌱🪴
I make my chimichuri sauce with cilantro instead of parsley and it is amazing! I love to spread it on cauliflower and roast it in the oven, it’s divine!
I found your channel thru some other persons ‘fav channels list’. I forget who as I dont follow them, was just channel hopping lol to see if I could find a new channel I liked.
After watching a sample of at least a dozen channels, this video is what has made me want to subscribe. I love it! First video Iv seen yet on greens and Iv been wanting to add greens to my diet. I know zero about greens so I really appreciate that you took your time and explained it all so well.

Very enjoyable ways to eat greens are:
1. Tabbouleh (parsley salad)
2. Falafel (homemade or otherwise good quality they should be quite green inside, a good recipes would be from the channal downshiftology)
3. Spinach cake (sounds wierd, but it tasts sweet and unoffending like a normal vanilla cake or whatever else you combined it with. Cinnamon or matcha are very good candidats!)
4. Spinach peanut stew (sounds wierd, but is awesome and a nore well knowen african dish)
5. pestou or other green sauces (go well with pasta, but also potatos, great addition to mashed potatos. Can also be used as a glaze and sauce for fish or chicken. I filled a whole troute with it and it was awesome! Does well on sandwiches too. Classicly pestou is made from basil, but the same concept works with other greens like parsley, carrot greens too.)
6. Greenpea and mint soup is a very good spring/summer dish!
7. Tortilla, Wraps or pancakes useing spinach
other tips
8. Just throw a bit of green mild green into whatever curry you might cook, or one pot pasta
9. Find ways to enjoy cabbage
( a. I love a wild variety thinly sliced as a refreshing and crunchy salad,
b. one can fill the leaves and steam them
c. make a very simple pasta dish by patialy browning the cabbage in a pan, adding butter or almond butter for taste, salt, and well some typ of noodle. Cabbage tasts increadably good once it got a some gold brown coloring going on.)
I’m really bad about eating my greens. I like putting them in smoothies, but my ninja bullet just doesn’t get them fine enough for me. I’ll invest in a vitamix eventually! And I love the hummus tip. I have never heard of chimichurri. What is it?
The greens as a wrap thing is amazing. Love collards and chard for this. I make Korean-inspired "tacos" this way and they are spectacular. I actually find them pretty filling sans starch because of all the chewing I am doing (I haven’t steamed them, though). Really great tips – thank you.
Hi Meghan! I love this video, there’s so many options to choose from! I have a quick question.. do you choose to eat foods that provide vitamins and minerals, or do you ever take supplements to help you get the proper amount you should have per day? Thanks in advance!
I always buy frozen veggies and often use frozen peas when I want to add simple easy quick green vegetables to a meal that does not have enough.
Great ideas Meghan! I love the frozen greens ideas especially for using in smoothies. Or mixing in an omelette! 👍🏼
I eat spinach, kale & romaine lettuce for salads, creamed spinach, stir fry, sandwich & wraps
Great ideas👍🏻

This video came in perfect timing for me😍
Hi megan please make a video on how you cure ibs
Looking for small food processor, what do you recommend?
I would love a video demonstrating your meal prepping and planning process and how that comes to fruition in your kitchen. Love your videos!
These were fantastic tips.
Adding the greens to the smoothie is such a good tip, and has leveled up my smoothie game! Thanks!

Carrot tops are toxic!

I love different accents and loved how you said "sprouts" and you said it like 10 times, it made me happy😁 (also, i love sprouts😋)

Even though I am a relatively healthy person I do tend to miss out on greens. Thank you for this video Megan!

i added some spinach to my sandwich today and thought hey i need to eat more greens lol perfect timing!
I agree, Chimichurri sauce is excellent, we like it on steak! And Kale chips rock, especially with nutritional yeast!!
I dehydrate my own greens before they go bad, then blend them to powder and use them in smoothies.
Thank you Meghan… For such great ideas:) I have been following your channel from quiet long… Love your content:) stay healthy
Such great tips
Very helpful. Thank you so much Meghan 😊
Thank you Ms.Meghan for this greeny video😊😊
Spice it up! 😀

Thanks Meghan for your inspiration. My husband and I try to have some kind of green every day.❤

You made greens sound so interesting by just the way you described them 👏🏼
