Have a giant salad as a main dish every day. This means including a variety of delicious greens; several different-colored vegetables; protein sources, such as chickpeas, lentils, or smoked tofu; a filling addition, such as cooked cubed sweet potatoes, butternut squash, or Kamut berries; and a fat source, such as a nut- or seed-based dressing or sliced avocado. Many of the salad recipes in this book are hearty enough to serve as a main dish.
For something warming, load a stew or soup with vegetables, including greens. Use frozen vegetables if that’s easier for you. Dark leafy greens, such as collards, kale, and spinach, are widely available in the supermarket frozen-foods section.
Have ½ cup (125 ml) of steamed dark leafy greens three times a day. This is powerful medicine! See the recipe.
