5 Green Recipes: A Delicious & Healthy St. Patrick's Day

If St. Patrick’s Day is the only time you think about eating something green, I’m shuddering at that possibility! If you answered yes, then images of green bagels, green cupcakes and green jello come to mind.  But when it comes to green food, there’s so much more than artificially turning food green, (even though green vegan cupcakes do sound yummy, I must admit!) Making some of these recipes will not only commemorate the greenness of the holiday but it might start you off on a leafy green, healthy eating habit leading to the pot ‘o gold at the end. If Kermit the Frog’s mom made some of these deliciously green recipes, it would be so much easier for him to be green! 

Here are some fabulously green recipes to serve on this very green day:

Spinach Artichoke Dip with White Bean & Cauliflower
Super Simple Vegan Split Pea Soup
Blueberry Banana Kale Smoothie
Ginger Soy Glazed Edamame
Baked Broccoli Burgers

Happy Saint Patrick's Day!
