36 Naturally Green Foods for St. Patrick's Day

We all love having festive green foods on St. Patrick's Day. Celebrate a bit more naturally this year with these 36 naturally green foods for St. Patrick's Day.

To me, one of the most fun things to do for St. Patrick's Day is to think of a variety of fun green foods for the holiday. I guess I can thank the foodie in me for that.

There are a variety of green-themed foods out there that you can purchase pre-made or make yourself like candies, cupcakes, and even green eggs and ham.

I don't know about you but for some reason, I tend to get boxed in on thinking of foods that need food coloring to become green.

This year I've resolved myself to eating a more natural diet. So, while I will still indulge in some homemade green velvet cupcakes, I also wanted to think of some naturally green foods for St. Patrick's Day.

I really thought I would struggle to come up with a sizeable list. Honestly, once I started thinking about it, I realized there are a ton of naturally green foods for St. Patrick's Day I could be serving.

Most of these green foods just happen to be super healthy and full of awesome vitamins, minerals all that healthy stuff we're supposed to have more of, too. How awesome is that?

I know I'll have no problem chowing down on some yummy green cabbage, grapes, and broccoli for St. Patrick's Day!
