16 Mar Another Reason to Go Green on St. Patty's DAY

Going Green is easy to do today-but what about the other 364 days of the year?

If you are looking for ways to be eco healthy AND eco friendly, pick up Kate Geagan’s Go Green Get Lean; Trim Your Waistline with the Ultimate Low Carbon Footprint Diet.

Here is the thing about Kate. I know her personally and she is as dedicated about helping you get lean the green way as she is about about keeping the earth healthy for the future of her kids-and yours. Her rhetoric is fresh, interesting and applicable to anyone wanting to lose a few pounds while taking their life long turn at going green.

I love her recipes-each of which she created herself. Check out her One-Minute Artichoke and White Bean Hummus recipe:

One Minute Artichoke and White Bean Hummus
1 14.5 ounce can artichoke hearts packed in water, drained
1 15 oz. can white beans (or cannellini or navy beans), rinsed and drained
1 clove garlic
¼ tsp salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
squeeze of fresh lemon wedge (about ¼ lemon)

1. Place all ingredients into a food processor.
2. Puree until smooth. Taste and adjust seasonings. Serve with veggie stix or whole
grain crackers.

Her website (where I lifted the above recipe-its okay-she said I could) is full of tips and ideas for the novice green eater to the advanced. Check it out at www.gogreengetlean.com. Sign up for her newsletter, too and tell her I sent you!
