It’s easy being green! Naturally green foods are not only fun, but can be super healthy when they get their beautiful color from green veggies! These recipes are not only fun, kid-friendly and tasty, but are also good for you!
Somehow…it is March already.
That baffles me, but that is beside the point.
Here is something else that baffles me:
Nature makes some of it’s best, most nutrient-dense, healthiest foods beautiful and bright shades of green. Kale. Avocado. Spinach. And that is just to name a few.
YET…..when it comes to St. Patrick’s day, everything is dyed green with fake food dyes! A bit ironic, since the major symbol of St. Patrick’s Day is a big green shamrock…the lovely green of nature.
The beauty of nature’s green foods is that they also make for wonderful natural food dyes! Here are some amazingly beautiful, vibrantly green real food dishes that only use the glory of nature to get their lovely color!
