Your Healthy Meal Plan for St. Patrick’s Day
St. Patty’s Day is mind-blowingly overbrimming with green stuff, but not all green meals on the plate are safe and nutritious. The fattening, sugary, high-calorie, and artificially-colored foods are absolutely unhealthy. If you are looking to eat healthy without sacrificing the color and taste, I have created a special green meal plan for you to try out on St. Patrick’s Day. All these green recipes are healthy and graciously delicious.
1 Breakfast
The first thing you put in your body as soon as you wake up plays a crucial role in how you feel and look throughout the day. One of the healthiest ways to start your day with is definitely oatmeal, but are you into eating green oats? I suggest you start your St. Patty’s Day with a yummy, nutrient-packed smoothie or a green juice – if you are spring detoxing your body.
