Happy St. Patrick's Day! Today, we are highlighting ways to eat more green vegetables. In our healthy lifestyle groups for individuals with Down syndrome, we discuss a variety of tips for eating more vegetables, including how we can add vegetables to foods we already eat. 

1. Add spinach to an omelet or top a pizza with spinach.

2. Blend spinach or kale into pasta sauce or smoothies. 

3. Eat noodles or fries made with zucchini.

4. Dip cucumbers or broccoli in a healthy yogurt dip. 

5. Dip green peppers in hummus. 

6. Make "ants on a log" with celery, raisins, and nut butter. 

7. Use lettuce in place of a bun or wrap. 

8. Make vegetable soup with green beans, peas, zucchini, celery, and/or broccoli.
