If you’re starting to think about bringing in more greens or salads as we move further into Spring, it’s important to bring in more healthy fats too. Steaming your greens, adding healthy fats & plenty of herbs & spices makes them much easier to digest – if you every get bloated after a lot of raw veg, steaming & adding dressings like this is a must! 

In Spring, greens such as nettle, dandelion leaves, chicory, spinach and chard are in-season, and their high levels of antioxidants and naturally slightly bitter taste make greens some of the best foods for detoxification. To get the best from them though, it’s essential to add healthy fats.

Many vegetables and greens are fat-soluble. Fat-soluble means these foods – such as dark leafy greens, broccoli, asparagus, cabbage, sweet potato and carrots – must be consumed alongside a healthy fat in order for you to absorb the vitamins A, K and E within them. These vitamins are vital for bone health, reproductive health, and the health of our eyes and skin too.
