If you’re like me you might not have grown up eating very many greens – unless they were green M&Ms or cookies around Christmas. So building in the habit of incorporating greens into your daily routine – might be … well … a struggle.
No fret though – this is an easy way to incorporate plenty of greens into your daily routine.

Love this! Yes a lot of us didn’t grow up having regular greens in our diet. I like most of all that your tone is approachable….understanding.
Thank you for this information.
Hi Jabari – I appreciate your comment and words, thank you. Did you grow up eating greens? And do you have a favorite?
You’re welcome and yes I grew up eating a very balanced diet. My favorites are broccoli, all kale, green pepper, and asparagus.
I have others but they are not green lol
That is so wonderful! Much to be grateful for there. Kale is a staple around here. Dinosaur kale in particular!
Yes, I agree!
