So day 1 was easy and we're starting to see that it's not so difficult to add greens to every meal. What's on the menu for day 2?
Day Two Breakfast--Omelette with Spinach
This couldn't be easier, just add a splash of water to a small omelette pan and add in several generous handfuls of spinach. Saute until tender. Dress the spinach with olive oil, salt and pepper and move to a serving plate. Then melt a little butter in your pan and swish it all around, add in two eggs stirred up with a tablespoon of water and some sea salt and pepper and you have your omelette. For a little fun, here's Julia Child with her omelette tutorial.
Day Three Dinner--Add some greens to your favorite soup recipe.
What's your favorite soup? Chicken noodle? Mexican chicken? Italian meatball? Whatever it is, toss a generous quantity of super greens into it. If you want to try something new, how about this Indian tomato spinach version:
Ingredients:
3 T olive oil
2 leeks chopped
2 bay leaves
1/2 t ground cardamon
1/4 t cinnamon
1 1/2 t salt
1/2 t ground pepper
2 t curry powder
3 cups organic chicken stock
2 cans organic stewed tomatoes
6 boneless organic chicken thighs cut into bite-size pieces
1/2 cup cooked basmati rice
1 can organic chick peas (also known as garbanzo beans)
4 cups spinach or other super green
Put olive oil and leeks into a soup pot and saute until leeks are softened. Add all ingredients up to tomatoes and simmer for 20 minutes. Add in chicken and continue simmering until chicken is just cooked. Add in rice, chick peas and spinach and heat just until spinach leaves have softened. Serve.

Super Green Smoothie fans: By the way, we're showing you the omelette for a little variety, but if you like the Super Green Smoothie, go ahead and have it every day. Keep it up for a few weeks and you'll be amazed at how much energy you have and how clear your head gets.
Day Two Lunch --Super Green Salad with Tuna Tarragon
Tuna is an excellent ingredient for anti-inflammation because it's high in omega-3 oil. Just mix up our tuna tarragon and serve it on a bed of super greens of your choice. You can drizzle a bit of vinaigrette over the greens if you wish. (Combine 3 parts oil to 1 part vinegar or lemon juice. Season with salt, pepper, dry mustard, dry dill and chopped shallots.) If you use flax oil for some or all of the oil in your dressing, you'll be upping the inflammation fighting omega-3s even more.
