Make Green Your Favorite Color...

Now that St. Patrick's day is behind us let’s not forget about the “healthy” color green!  Salads sometimes get a bad rap as "diet food," but leafy greens pack a powerful nutritional punch. And with so many different healthy toppings to choose from - think lean protein and fresh veggies, you're sure to find one you like.  To make it easy to pack more greens into your diet, buy a bag of lettuce and fill a large container full of chopped vegetables at the beginning of the week and make your own dressing.  That way, all you need to do is mix, dress, and enjoy!  It is pretty much my weekend ritual to make sure I have proteins portioned out, a pound of organic mixed greens and tons of veggies!
