In the quest for a healthier lifestyle, leafy green vegetables often take centre stage. These nutritional powerhouses are packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that offer a wide range of health benefits. But let’s face it, incorporating greens into our diet can sometimes feel like a daunting task. Adding leafy greens to your meals can be easy, delicious, and fun!

 

Why Greens?

Leafy greens such as spinach and kale are nutrient-dense foods that can boost your overall health. They are rich in vitamins like A, C, and K, along with essential minerals like iron and calcium. Greens are also a great source of dietary fibre, which aids in digestion and helps maintain a healthy weight. With Liebherr’s Vegetable Sorting System you can store your greens separately.

 

So, let’s dive into some simple and tasty recipes to enjoy your greens.

1. Green Smoothie:
Blend a handful of spinach or kale with a banana, some Greek yoghurt, a splash of almond milk, and a drizzle of honey for a refreshing and nutritious breakfast or snack. You won’t even taste the greens, but your body will thank you.

2. Sautéed Greens:
Heat some olive oil in a pan, add minced garlic, and toss in chopped greens that you like. Sauté until wilted, and finish with a squeeze of lemon juice. Sprinkle some ground pepper for a spicy touch.

3. Kale Chips:
Toss kale leaves with a bit of olive oil, salt, and your choice of seasonings. Bake until crisp, and you have a guilt-free snack.

4. Green Veggie Stir-Fry:
Sauté a medley of green vegetables like broccoli, snap peas, and bok choy in a soy-ginger sauce. Serve over brown rice or quinoa for a quick and wholesome dinner.

5. Spinach and Mushroom Omelette:
Add a handful of fresh spinach and sautéed mushrooms to your morning omelette for a nutrient boost that will keep you energised all day.

6. Green Goddess Dressing:
Whip up a creamy green dressing with Greek yoghurt, avocado, fresh herbs, and lemon juice. Use it as a base for your salads or use it as a dip with chips!
