Eat 34 | BOROMAG.COM | MARCH 2015 BODY & SOUL Since March is the month of St. Patty’s and everything green, we thought it would be the perfect time to reflect on the kind of greens you can consume—and no, we don’t mean beer tinted with yellow and blue food coloring. Naturally-green foods are low in calories, high in antioxidants and phytonutrients, are easy on your glucose levels, and are pretty much carb free. Now don’t be mistaken—of course the way you prepare these foods can change their nutritional value. Here are just a few of our favorite local finds that still keep the green ingredients pretty good for you. We’ll let the pictures do the talking.
