Up Your Kale Game 7 Day Challenge :-)
Up Your Kale Game!
An article in the Huffington Post called “10 Superfoods Healthier than Kale” which inspired this week’s challenge.
Kale has plenty of benefits, like having high levels of vitamin B and containing more calcium than milk!
But…there are lots of great options in ADDITION to kale!
Kale has at least 10 leafy green cousins which pack an antioxidant and nutrient-rich punch!!
- Watercress
- Chinese Cabbage
- Chard
- Beet Greens
- Spinach – My personal favorite!
- Chicory
- Leaf Lettuce
- Parsley
- Romaine Lettuce
- Collard Greens
Your challenge this week is to pick one or more greens from the list above, (preferably one that you don’t normally eat every day) and include it in your diet this week!
If you need a few new recipe ideas on how to make these greens a little more exciting, check out this post: www.foodrepublic.com/2014/08/28/24-epic-leafy-green-vegetable-side-dishes.
