When your mama said “Eat your greens”, she knew what she was talking about. From a nutrition perspective, they’re one of those foods that you can happily include every single day for the rest of your life and reap the benefits of long term good health!

When my clients think of green vegetables, they often get stuck at broccoli. Which is a fabulous green vegetable, but can get a little boring if consumed ALL the time. Did you know that there are HEAPS of different green vegetables, all rich in nutrition and versatile enough that you can include them in nearly every type of meal. One family of green vegetables that regularly make their way onto my table are Asian greens. Here is a very simple, yet delicious way to eat them!
