Like many others, I too wrestle with following Dr. Esselstyn’s suggestion of consuming 6 servings of greens a day.

So one morning as I used to be making ready my McDougall breakfast potato, I added a handful of chopped greens (spinach, chard, and kale) to a bowl whereas my potato was microwaving.

Then I lined the greens with pink chile sauce, topped that with my partially cooked potato, added some inexperienced chile sauce as properly, and completed microwaving the entire thing.

Scrumptious!

So this isn’t precisely a recipe, per se, however a way you would possibly use to get one more serving of these nitric-oxide-bearing greens into your each day food regimen.

As I mentioned, this isn’t precisely a recipe, however what I did was finely chop the greens and add them to a big bowl.

Then cowl them with the pink chile sauce, chilly, proper out of the jar.

My microwave has a POTATO button that’s 4 minutes, so I added my potato to my potato categorical steamer bag and cooked it for about half of that point, or 2 minutes.

(I included my Amazon affiliate hyperlink and as a member I do earn from certified purchases however at no additional value to you.)

Subsequent, I lower my potato in half and organized it on prime of my greens and pink chile, then spooned some inexperienced chile over that and completed microwaving.

Hope you get pleasure from it and I hope it provides you one more approach to put together these life-saving greens I do know so many people are missing.
