As St. Patrick's Day approaches, infuse your celebratory green food with natural ingredients. Whether you're organizing a virtual gathering for friends or planning a team-building event for your corporate team, incorporating naturally dyed green foods adds a healthy and festive touch to the occasion. Let's explore some creative ways to bring the luck of the Irish to your St. Patrick's Day feast while promoting healthy ingredients. Spinach: Harness the nutritional powerhouse of spinach to add a natural green tint to your dishes. Blend fresh spinach leaves in a smoothie with banana, almond milk and almond butter for a vibrant green sippable treat. Whip up a delicious spinach dip to satisfy all your savory cravings. Make sure to blanch your fresh spinach before you add it to your dip to keep that vibrant color. Avocado: Elevate your St. Patrick's Day menu with the creamy goodness of avocado. Mashed avocado serves as an excellent natural food dye, lending a luscious green hue to guacamole, desserts, and even smoothies. To maintain the vibrant color, make sure to add a squeeze of lemon or lime juice to your avocado mixture to help prevent oxidation that will turn your avocado brown. Matcha: From decadent matcha desserts to refreshing matcha beverages, there's no shortage of ways to incorporate this antioxidant-packed green tea powder into your menu. Consider selecting high-quality ceremonial-grade matcha for the best flavor and color. Spirulina: Dive into the world of superfoods with spirulina, a nutrient-rich blue-green algae renowned for its vibrant hue. Incorporate spirulina powder into cocktails, mocktails or baked goods to add a striking green color while boosting the nutritional value of your dishes. A little goes a long way! I start with ⅛ of a teaspoon per serving in my mocktails. As you prepare for your St. Patrick's Day celebration, consider booking a St. Patrick's Day Happy Hour team-building workshop enjoy a delicious and festive team activity. Let's make this St. Patrick's Day a memorable and delicious experience for you and your team!
