This is a great opportunity to add variety to your diet by trying new green vegetables and benefiting from the different phytonutrients, vitamins and minerals in each one! You can use a single kind of green, or a mixture. Collards and kale will take longer to cook than spinach, so if you use a combination of greens, put the heartier ones in first. Once those are cooked down, add the spinach, which only takes about a minute to wilt.
