Goddess Greens

I had my favorite lunch today….Goddess Greens with Kitchari!
Over ten years ago, my friend Trupti introduced me to how she makes greens…and I was never the same after that :). Her recipe was super simple, but off the charts delicious, wholesome… and best of all, they always left me craving for more during the week. Who doesn’t want to be craving for dark leafy vegetables instead of something more carb or sugar based :)? For several years after, I think I made these greens, if not on an everyday basis, then for sure on a every other day basis.
So now I call them Goddess Greens…in honor of Trupti and because these greens are just so juicy, delicious and super healthy….it was like they were made just for everyday, urban goddesses…that need a rich dose of vitamins A, C and K in their diets. I love them served with Kitchari or else some kind of spiced up Quinoa.
So for all you beautiful and wonderful Goddesses out there….ENJOY!
