Bored with salad? Spice up your diet with these green recipes!

Greens 24-7

Greens. We all know we should eat more of them, but sometimes it’s really difficult to come up with new and interesting ways to include them in our diet which isn’t a plain boring old side salad.

Canadian food blogger Jessica Nadel from Cupcakes and Kale comes to the rescue with her first cookery book published this month, Greens 24/7.

In this cookery book, vegan writer Jessica shares over 100 of her quick and easy recipes incorporating over 40 different types of green. How about some Cinnamon Courgette Waffles for breakfast, Mango, Avocado and Cucumber Summer Rolls for lunch, Stuffed Baked Sweet Potatoes with Broccoli, Swiss Chard and Hummus for dinner and some delectable Courgette Chocolate Cake for afters?

The book is broken down into five comprehensive sections:

  • Smoothies and Breakfasts
  • Green Sides & Small Bites
  • Green Soups & Salads
  • Green Main Meals
  • Green Cakes and Desserts.

There are also smaller but very well written introductory sections introducing the green ingredients used in the recipes, green fact files and information on some of the other ingredients used throughout the book. Green meal menu plans are also included.

Each recipe is accompanied by a beautiful, mouth-watering photograph by Jackie Sobon.

Designed by the incredibly talented Lucy over at Supergolden Bakes and published in the UK by Apple Press on the 8th of January 2014, this 176 page paperback cookbook retails for £14.99 and can be found on Amazon.

The book is packed full of inspiring vegan recipes – I am looking forward to the arrival of the spring greens in my weekly organic vegetable box to start getting creative with them again! This book is sure to be referred to time and time again in my kitchen.

One of the recipes which immediately struck me when I first opened the cook book was that for a green juice without the use of a juicer – simply blend the ingredients together and strain through a nut bag! Apple Press have kindly given me permission to reproduce the recipe below.

    Fresh spring greens, definitely. Lightly steamed and seasoned with pepper and served with a little butter. Delicious.

    My favourite green when I was a child was brussels sprouts picked fresh from the garden. I haven’t got space for a garden now so my new favourite is rocket – with just about everything.

    Spinach- I adore it raw or cooked and use it as the basis of many of my dishes- My favourite base dish is is Sag aloo which I also add roasted root vegetables and gnocchi to.

    For me it depends on what it is. I love spinach in juices and smoothies, spinach as a general green veggie and I love rocket in salads. Yum ! This book sounds great x

    I always assumed you needed an expensive juicer to be able to “juice” – consider my lesson learned!
    Thanks so much for linking up with #TriedTested this week x

    This looks great and I’ll definitely check it out, thanks for sharing. I love greens; my favourites are probably broccoli, courgettes, kale and spinach, although I think I like just about any of them! x #TriedTested

    Since my little one has started on solids, I’m starting to re-evaluate my own diet. The biscuit excess might have to make way for more greens (lead by example and all that). Looks like a good book. I’m a big broccoli fan myself. Particularly with salmon. Simplest. easiest meal ever. #TriedTested

    Sounds like a great book for helping get more greens into your diet. I love spinach as I find this easy to slip in to a lot of different dishes 🙂

    My fave green vegetable is Broccoli.

    My partner and I are always saying that the biggest downfall to our (relatively healthy) diet is that we don’t get enough greens. This book would be perfect to helps up our intake.

    Has to be broccoli however I am starting to get into Kale, now there’s a statement I never thought I’d make!!!!

    I think Spring greens are my favourite. They are easy to grow, really versatile and I sometimes use them if I don’t have kale or spinach to hand for a recipe.

    I like most greens, but I guess my favorite would have to be spinach. I’d love to find more ways to incorporate healthy ingredients into my daily cooking.
