What happens when you eat greens every day
There is something special and delightful in eating all that God made plant-based food full of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. It gives you energy, makes you stronger while renewing your body and mind. You cannot get all these essential nutrients from other foods except plants.

How do I cook green spaghetti from scratch?
Making pasta loaded with nutrient-dense vegetables is our favorite weeknight-friendly dish. This flavor-packed vibrant plate is almost effortless to make. Can you believe it is ready in 15 minutes or less?
- Cook the spaghetti
First, cook the pasta according to the package instructions.
- Make the sauce
While the pasta is cooking, blend all the ingredients (the veggies, olive oil, water, and seasonings) in a blender or food processor. Blitz until smooth and creamy. If you don't have a blender simply put the ingredients in a bowl and puree the sauce with a handheld immersion blender.
- Mix it all
In the end, drain the spaghetti. Transfer the sauce to the cooked spaghetti pot while still hot. Mix it all well until spaghetti is evenly coated with the raw green sauce. Serve it immediately with vegan feta cheese or parmesan and enjoy!
