Whether your ancestors hail from the homeland or you simply like rocking different shades of green – we're all Irish on St. Patty's Day. And no matter how you celebrate, it's the best excuse to get together with friends, eat delicious food, and, sure, probably drink a whole lotta green beer.
Zero judgment here.
To help inspire your festivities – we connected with our friends at Virtua Health to develop healthier versions of some famous St. Patrick's Day recipes.
Are they delicious? You know it. Are they traditional? Kind of. Will you feel less bloated the next morning? Depends on the green beer. Again, no judgment.
Healthier Corned Beef and Cabbage
This holiday staple (while undeniably delish) has a habit of devouring your calorie count. Here, we substitute the potatoes with some fresh veggies to create a wholesome, mouthwatering dish.
If the word "bread" intimates you – fear not, friends. No kneading, proofing, or bread-baking experience required. Plus, it pairs beautifully with the recipe above!
If you need a concoction to balance out the partying, this will do the trick. It's packed with nutritious ingredients while maintaining a natural green color that's mandatory for the day.
We hope you have a happy, healthy, and delicious St. Patrick's Day! And don't forget, if you've been dealing with tummy issues, our friends at Virtua can help! They've built a comprehensive digestive health program designed to help with gut issues, big or small. Connect with their team today!
