more leafy greens in my belly

Does anyone have suggestions as to good ways to get more leafy greens in during the day? I eat a ton of lettuce, but other more nutrient rich greens are hard to get in sometimes for me. I can’t get kale or collards where I live and just haven’t found the perfect way to make a parsley smoothie yet. I could just eat more cilantro loaded guacamole, but I know that is not the way. Any tips?

    Do you juice the greens and parsley first? I have a so-so blender and always end up chewing greens with the smoothie. It´s not juice or smoothie-like at all. erg.

    Wow, those are all wonderful suggestions, many thanks. I also tried the marinated kale and lentil salad today. I didn’t love the lentils, but I ate up the kale like crazy. Overnight marinating greens does wonders! My blender is so terrifying, I never really run it for that long, but I’m sure that the marathon blend would work. Zoe, amazing list.

    You absolutely have to try the Avocado Kale Salad. Simply amazing!!

    It looks great. I can´t get myself to like raw tomatoes though. Do you have any sugestions of things that might go well with it to substitute? (Zoe, well it wasn´t really kale, but some strange south amemican green that must be a relative, more bitter through)

    Juleskess, how about using red peppers instead? And I’m thinking you used chickory instead of kale….? If it’s chickory, I eat the stems, but not kale stems.
