Collard greens are one of the best plant-
based sources of calcium — almost as
much as a cup of milk with half the calo-
ries and almost no fat! It's no wonder they
are a great addition to your Healthy
Weight Loss Eating Plan.

Ingredients:

1 lb collard greens
1 TBS extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp lemon juice
1 clove garlic, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste

2. While steam is building up in steamer, chop collard greens and let sit
   for 5 minutes to bring out their hidden health benefits.


3. Chop garlic and let sit for at least 5 minutes.


4. Steam greens for 5 minutes.


5. Transfer to a bowl. For more flavor, toss collard greens, while they
   are still hot, with the remaining ingredients.
