St. Patrick's Day certainly brings a sea of green but unfortunately many of these foods are green from the addition of artificial coloring. Eating would be dull without color but the rainbow of natural colors found in whole foods is amazing and can easily be used to add color to your favorite dishes.March is National Nutrition Month and this year the theme is to "Get Your Plate in Shape". Americans are encouraged to get back to the basics of healthy eating and appreciate the flavors and health benefits of whole foods. Here are some quick, healthy and delicious green dishes that are hued by Mother Nature not Dr. Frankenstein.
Shamrock French Toast
My kids love French toast! I threw a few handfuls of fresh spinach in my juicer/extractor and added the bright green juice to the egg mixture. A little honeydew juice brings just the right sweetness and consistency to the avocado and cream cheese.
Traditional hummus is made with chick peas but nowadays just about every legume and bean has been whipped into a hummus-y type of dish. Edamame makes for a great green veggie dipper.
