Leafy Green Daily Plate Minimum
A leafy green daily plate minimum hits two cups spinach, kale, or arugula once daily—volume and folate anchor for Mediterranean anti-inflammatory plates.
A leafy green daily plate minimum commits to at least two cups spinach, kale, arugula, or mixed greens once per day—on the main plate, not only garnish sprigs. Greens add folate, nitrates for some athletes, and volume with low calories.
Rotate types for variety; frozen spinach in eggs counts. Raw versus cooked both work; oil helps absorption.
Common questions
-
Does lettuce on a sandwich count toward the minimum?
Thin sandwich lettuce rarely reaches two cups—count it as bonus. Aim for a side salad or cooked greens portion you can measure in cups.
