“Eat more greens.”
We’ve all heard this line since childhood.
But let’s be honest:
Still, we know that green foods bring fibre, micronutrients and plant compounds that are good for us.
The good news? You can add green goodness in many other, more Indian ways.
We often ignore the power of our own kitchen.
Some examples :
Instead of feeling guilty about not eating “salad”, start noticing and increasing these dishes gradually.
For example:
Chutneys are a powerful, simple way to add greens.
These don’t feel like a “health task”, yet quietly increase your green intake.
Keep a small dab with lunch or dinner; your tongue enjoys the taste, your body gets the benefit.
Add chopped greens to:
Small additions add up over the week. The idea is not to create a completely new recipe; it is to green-up what you already cook.
Beyond vegetables, there is a growing family of “supergreens” such as:
These are difficult to eat directly every day in food form, but they can be added into:
This is where a daily drink like your greens-inspired or B12+greens drink can help: it combines several of these green ingredients into one easy glass.
Some days, life will be too messy:
On these days, set yourself a minimum green rule:
“No matter what, today I will have at least one green moment – either a small green dish OR a greens-inspired drink.”
Examples:
This takes away guilt and replaces it with a small, positive action.
To make it fun, track your Green Score for the week:
- Give yourself 1 point for each “green moment”:
- A green sabzi
- A green chutney or raita
- A glass of greens-inspired drink
- Aim for 10–14 points in a week to begin with.
This makes it a game instead of a punishment.
You do not need to copy Western salad bowls to be healthy.
Your own kitchen already holds:
Greens are not just a colour on your plate.
They are a quiet reminder that, every day, you are choosing something that nourishes you.
