This Copycat Panda Express Super Greens recipe combines broccoli, cabbage and kale into a delicious side dish packed with nutrients.
Super greens are a natural way to give your body a boost of health benefits. One of the most delicious ways to add them to your diet is with our Panda Express Super Greens Recipe!
If you're a Panda Express fan, you've probably ordered their veggie side dish. Currently, they are offering a mix of nutritious ingredients in their Super Greens Recipe.
This popular menu item replaced their previous veggie dish that consisted of broccoli, string beans, zucchini, and carrots.
I love that you can order the Panda Express Super Greens dish as a stand-alone or side to one of their many yummy entrees.
Because their main entree dishes have lots of protein and sauce, the super greens are a perfect balance for that.
Besides being delicious, the best part of these super greens is that they are SO HEALTHY! They're packed with vitamins, antioxidants, fiber, and have anti-inflammatory properties. Read more below about what super greens are and why super greens are good for you!
Step 1: In a dutch oven over medium-high heat, add the kale and cabbage. Cook until slightly softened, about 1 minute.
Step 2: Add the broccoli, seasonings, chicken broth, and soy sauce to the pot. Toss to combine and then cover the pot.
Step 3: Allow to steam for 3 to 5 minutes or until the desired tenderness is reached. Drain the liquid, toss and serve.
If you make this recipe using vegetable broth (rather than chicken broth), then this is a vegan recipe.
To make this a gluten-free recipe, replace regular soy sauce with either Tamari sauce or a gluten-free soy sauce.
The most common vegetables that are considered super greens include broccoli, kale, spinach, collard greens, swiss chard, asparagus, bok choy, and beet greens. Some of the more uncommon super greens would be wheatgrass, barley grass, spirulina, and alfalfa.
You can steam and season the more familiar vegetables and serve them as a side or as your main dish. This is perfect for anyone following a more plant-based diet. For the super greens, you may not use every day, many folks blend them together for a super green smoothie.
Super greens are good for your mind and body for so many reasons! They are rich in vitamins, antioxidants, fiber, and have anti-inflammatory properties, that can offer an aid to gut health, boost your immunity, and help lower your risk of many diseases.
An added boon to eating super greens is they can help you lose weight if added to a healthy diet.
If you consistently suffer from GERD, acid reflux, constipation, and/or indigestion, you would benefit from adding super greens. They have shown they may improve your gut health tremendously!
Would you like to replace all those caffeine heavy drinks you have every day for more energy? Super greens allow you to have a steady supply of energy that is natural and healthier!
Many people love the convenience of using powders and supplements instead of the real thing. Who wouldn't rather add a scoop of powder to their smoothie than cook and eat a ton of vegetables, right?
Also, there are instances when you may not have access to or there isn't a comparable natural food, etc. for your powder or supplement replacement. Even though it saves time, powders are typically not going to give you all of the benefits that eating those super greens will afford.
For instance, eating veggies can help keep you full, adds more fiber, and gives you more of the vitamins, anti-oxidants, etc, that a powder cannot give you. A great compromise is to include both in your diet. This gives you the best of both worlds!
