Power greens are great fresh or sautéed with some garlic. Just remember that you get the most nutrients from greens and other veggies when they are uncooked.
*Make it easy by purchasing a pre-cut, pre-cleaned bag of mixed greens at your local grocery store. Our favorite power green mix can be found locally at Trader Joes.
