Saint Patrick’s Day is just around the corner! My family really did not do much for Saint Patrick’s Day until a cousin of mine sent me my family tree that dated back to the mid-1800s which showed that I have Irish ancestors! Pretty cool, huh? I decided to do something different this year for Saint Patrick’s day other than eating the typical Saint Patrick’s Day foods – corn beef and cabbage. Why not have a little fun and eat some green healthy foods? Make some shamrock and/or rainbow crafts with your kids, wear green and eat make some recipes using green foods. What green foods? Here is a great list of those foods. Many of them are low carb which is perfect for my family!

These are great ideas. I love the thought of serving up green food for Saint Paddy’s day. I’ll have to bust out a few of these.
I love these ideas! Green is the color for St. Patrick’s Day, so why not make up a couple of these? It’ll be fun!
I really love guacamole but I always thought it was complicated. That looks easy and yummy all in one. Love these!
Oh my gosh! I totally want to try all of these this weekend! Thanks!
That shamrock smoothie bowl looks pretty good! I’m ready to eat and drink all things green!
I’d love to serve some of the spinach balls along with a main course. The kale chips could be fun to have too!
Everybody can find their favorite Green thing! So many possibilities!
I think the salad looks really good. I’m sure my kids would rather have the broccoli cheese bites though
These recipes look heavenly and so tasty! So perfect for St. Patrick’s Day!
This a great list of recipes! I’m planning on trying the Homemade Kale Chips. I am pretty sure the whole family will love it!
Guacamole is always my absolute favorite green snack!
