Leafy greens come with a long list of benefits, but they also have one downside: they go bad pretty quickly. That doesn’t mean you should let them spoil since there are many ways you can put them to some good use instead of throwing them away.
Healthy Soups
Soups and healthy veggies go hand in hand, and you can take your creamy soups to the next level by blending some leftover leafy greens and adding them to the mix.
Making Pesto
Kale or spinach can be used to make a killer homemade pesto. Even if you had them for a few days and they’re not 100% fresh, they can still do wonders for this tasty sauce.
Coleslaw
Most people make coleslaw with cabbage, but you can turn things around and replace this veggie with kale, chard, or turnips for just as delicious a taste.
Stir Fry
If you can’t imagine a family lunch without a good stir fry, how about adding leafy greens to the mix? Kale, arugula, and spinach are great picks and they don’t even have to be fresh to taste amazing.
Green Smoothies
Green smoothies experienced a huge rise in popularity in the last few years, and they owe many of their healthy properties to leafy greens.
