Let's talk green containers. I know it can be tricky to get all those veggies in!
I have to give a shout-out to my current favorite leafy green ARUGULA! Arugula is SO good for you, has a rich and delicious flavor, and seems to keep longer than other lettuces.
Arugula is a great source of folic acid and Vitamins A, C and K, as well as high levels of iron and copper. Arugula - nicknamed the Salad Rocket - is also a hydrating food!
I like to keep a box of organic baby arugula in the fridge at all times. When I get the mid day munchies, I put some arugula in a bowl, splash some vinegar and lemon juice on it, and nom nom nom YUM!
Here are some other ideas for getting in those green containers:
-celery sticks (top with hummus or almond butter)
-sliced cucumbers (add vinegar yum!)
-green beans
-baked kale chips
-sweet peppers
-broccoli/cauliflower/carrot/snowpea grab bag
-baked/grilled brussel sprouts
Sneak in even more greens by adding sprouts to your wrap or sandwich, adding a handful of spinach or kale to your Shakeo, making spiralized zucchini "noodles" or spaghetti squash instead of pasta, and using Romaine lettuce instead of tortillas on taco night or buns on burger night.
