Eat Green on St. Patrick’s Day

St. Patrick’s Day is one of our favorite holidays because it gives us the chance to celebrate everything green! Whether it’s our famous green smoothies or our superfood-enhanced green kefir, or even our green business practices, we think it’s easy to be green in everything we do.

To celebrate this festive day, we’ve rounded up our favorite St. Patrick’s Day-inspired recipes for you to enjoy. Unlike other recipe round ups, you won’t find any Corned Beef and Cabbage or Irish Cream recipes here. We don’t deny a festive indulgence is appropriate on occasions, we like to think the following recipes add different pieces of gold to the pot, if you will. Pieces of gold that will help your tummy instead of hurt it, at least.
