Van Wyk - Best Green Eats Ever

G reens, greens, and more greens! From spinach to kale, Brussels sprouts to collards, leafy greens are appearing in all sorts of unexpected places. It has never been easier to pump up your meals with a great big healthy green punch. You can find them in your grocery store aisles, at farmers markets, even sometimes in your own backyard garden. Regardless of where you buy them, greens are just delicious and right anytime of the day or night.

As a doctor, Im passionate about good medicine. This means Im not just interesting in treating illnesses as they arise but also in preventing them through a whole host of complementary strategies. Im a firm believer that making healthy choices at mealtimes is one of the easiest and best ways to help maintain a healthy lifestyle. Katrines BEST GREEN EATS EVER is a great first step to beginningand maintainingoptimum health. I know Katrine well, as she works as a Holistic Health Coach in my practice. Patients love her calm and perceptive demeanor, and the nutritional guidance she provides.

In her first book, BEST GREEN DRINKS EVER, she gave us an exciting new crop of green juice recipes. Now, Im thrilled to be a part of her latest project BEST GREEN EATS EVER that takes readers beyond the blender and into the world of delicious, healthy, and filling meals and snacks for every occasion. After all, we cannot live on juice alone! These new recipes reflect Katrines dedication to creating meals that are both healthy and tasty. By now were all aware that we should be including more leafy green veggies in our diets. Kale is a superfood packed with vitamin A; spinach is loaded with antioxidant flavonoids, potassium, and vitamin B6; and Brussels sprouts have a ton of vitamin C. They are the most nutritionally dense foods available.

The benefits are endless. Which is why BEST GREEN EATS EVER is such an exciting new addition to my bookshelf. Quick, easy, and delicious recipes that nourish the body from the inside outnow thats the kind of medicine thats easy to swallow. Katrines recipes use some of my favorite greens in new and tasty ways. Try her Shredded Chicken and Savoy Cabbage for a protein-packed lunch on the go or dish up some Brussels Sprouts Chips (really!) for a midday snack that will have your family asking for more. Of course, Katrine also includes some classic dishes too, like her Grilled Caesar Salad that will leave you feeling energized, not weighed down.

Shes also included modifications for nearly every diet including gluten-free, paleo, raw, and veganso everyone can enjoy the benefits of these great green eats.
