Spring is coming! So add some green color to your meals to add nutrition and to enjoy the fresh green color. Here’s some ideas!

  • Sliced green apples dipped in yogurt or peanut butter.
  • Crunchy celery and cucumbers with savory hummus.
  • Try Zoats! Zucchini in oatmeal for breakfast.
  • Broccoli and cheese is always a classic side dish.
  • Fresh spinach in scrambled eggs or a veggie omelet is an easy way to add green and vitamin A.
