Use raw greens like spinach, romaine, or arugula or use up sauteed leftovers from the night before - kale, collards, chard. To make this quick and easy, buy pre-washed organic greens so you are ready to go.Add more vegetablesOnce you have your base of greens, add more veggies! Carrots, peppers, tomatoes, onions... maybe some fermented vegetables like sauerkraut. What else have you got in the fridge?
