10 Easy Ways to Get Your Greens

  1. Top your meals with fresh herbs. Try coriander on a curry, parsley on a stew and basil leaves on an Italian pasta.
  2. Order a side of broccoli, steamed spinach or mangetout when you’re out for a meal.
  3. Add a small handful of fresh spinach to your smoothies – it packs a nutritional punch without giving it a distinct flavour.
  4. Blend or toss some fresh spinach or kale into a curry or tomato sauce when making a pasta.
  5. Add wild rocket (arugula to Americans) to a bowl of beans, salad or jacket potato with hummus. It manages to keep in the fridge for a couple of weeks.
  6. Slice courgette and freeze before adding it to smoothies – virtually tasteless but it adds a creaminess and is great especially if you don’t like frozen banana. You can also steam the courgette first, let it cool and then freeze it if you prefer. 
  7. Grate cucumber into a plant-based yoghurt (such as almond or soya yoghurt) and add some mint sauce to make a quick raita.
  8. Make a green pesto and use it on bread, pasta or as a dip for your crudités.
  9. Change up your salads with greens you haven’t tried before: I love sorrel, rainbow chard, collard greens and pea shoots.
  10. Wilt some greens and sauté with onion, garlic and mushrooms in miso sauce for a great side dish or pair with rice or noodles for a more substantial meal.
