What if I don't like greens? And nut binging.

What do I do!? Everyone always talks about how important greens are in the diet, but I can not stomach them in smoothies and I don’t really enjoy them in a salad (I’ll go as dark as Romaine and Spinach). I don’t want to have to force them down. How do I handle this problem?

Also, I seem to be a nut/date binger. Any idea to quell this before it becomes a habit? I know that there is a lot of good fat and protein in nuts, but they seem to be a more-ish type of food that sets me off for more more more.

Help the newbie!

    Hey Shady Lady! I agree with mham…Make a yummie fruit smoothie and just throw in a few greens. Slowly increase the amount of greens (spinach leaves and/or celery) and lessen the amt of fruit throughout the course of the month. Also, try stomaching down a salad before you eat your nut/date treats. i think you will be surprised at how you slowly begin to aquire a taste for the greens and even crave them! Cut up some dates and throw some nuts/seeds on your salad as a little treat for eating your greens. I believe that greens are VERY important, but don’t be too hard on yourself at first. Keep up the great work!!

    Really!? So gettin’ down the greens might help with the nutty sweet tooth I have?

    Maybe it is worth it lol

    (Not to mention greens are a lot cheaper than nuts and dates!)

    Thank you guys so much.

    I love love loved greens cooked… so I’m banking on the fact that I will warm up to them (no pun intended) in no time. I could eat buckets of lightly steamed kale with salt.
