I thought it might be fun to post some of my leanest, meanest, and greenest plant-based recipes, in honor of St. Patrick’s Day. And by meanest, I mean most delicious! With everything from appetizers to main dishes, smoothies and desserts, this list proves its so easy eating green. Here are my favorite savory, sweet, and matcha-centric recipes from the blog. As always, all recipes are vegan, gluten free, and refined sugar free. Click on the link below each photo for the recipe. Go green!
Smoothies and Milkshakes
Copycat Vegan Shamrock Shake – Now updated with an easier, cashew-free version!
Glowing Shamrock Smoothie
Avocado Mango Mint Green Smoothie
Savory
Glowing Green Spinach and Artichoke  Hummus
Radish Pea and Mint Quinoa Salad with Zesty Lemon Dressing
Bookmark this one for summer, when your garden (or farmer’s market) is overflowing with tomatoes… healthy Un-Fried Green Tomatoes.
So it’s more of an army green, but I’m giving this Split Pea Crockpot Soup an Honorable Mention, because it’s just so yummy!
Matcha Desserts and Drinks
No Bake Vanilla Matcha Cheesecake
Raw Oreos with Matcha Mint Cream Filling or Oreo Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches
Matcha Mint Coconut Butter and Dark Chocolate Cups

Ellie, you just pointed out a huge typo for me, it should be spinach and artichoke hummus, not avocado! So thank you, and my apologies! I must’ve had avocado on my mind. I’d love to do an avo hummus sometime though 🙂

Haha wouldn’t that be something! I actually think I’ve seen guacamole hummus at Costco before, but I’ve never tried it. I’ll have to do some research (aka stuffing a lot of dip in my face) lol
