and in this video I will only be eating

green-colored foods for 24 hours.

I haven't done one of these color food challenges

in a while, but I am very excited to get back into it.

I've definitely done some pretty bizarre colors in the past,

like blue and clear.

So, green relatively doesn't sound as crazy.

Even in our daily lives,

we see a lot of naturally green-colored foods.

So, I do think that in this challenge

I will be eating a lot more.

As per usual, I will be making my meals from scratch,

using only foods that are naturally colored green.

I have a feeling that today is mostly going to be a lot

of experimentation and trying to combine

as many green things as possible.

We shall see.

All right, let's get cooking.

Good morning.

I have changed into the only thing I have that is green.

Let me show you guys what ingredients I have

to work with for breakfast.

I have some super greens which are really

just a bunch of leafy greens.

I had to buy one of these

because it's just such like a classic green food.

I also have some kale and spinach in my fridge.

I usually just buy them anyways.

I found these really cool tortillas.

This one is made with spinach and herbs.

It's this like beautiful green color.

Honeydew, kiwi, avocado, green grapes,

Granny Smith apple, and a pear.

I also got this green salsa

that I think would go really well

with the tortilla wrap that I'm planning on making.

For those of you who have been watching a lot

of these colored food challenges,

you know how much I love fruit.

So I am very, very happy that I got to find

so many different kinds of fruit under the color green.

As you guys can see,

there are a lot of ingredients here.

This is going to be a very nutritious breakfast.

So, what I'm thinking is I'm going

to make a breakfast smoothie.

I'm gonna cut up some fruit and I'm gonna have a wrap.

Let's get started with the smoothie since that's one of my

favorite things to have.

I've already wash these fruits,

so I'm just going to chop up this pear.

(optimistic music)

I start off by putting in some pear, apples, avocado.

I'm also going to add in a squeeze of lime.

One or two grapes.

This is getting really full.

Some spinach.

Now to blend it up,

Look at how green this is, I love it.

Now I'm gonna set this aside and I'm gonna work

on our tortilla wraps.

This is what it looks like.

It is fairly green.

Big avocado right in the middle, little bit of lime.

Adding a little bit of my sauce.

Super greens and now we're gonna try and wrap it.

All right.

I just need to cut my kiwi up,

but then I am ready to plate everything up.

And here it is, first meal of the day.

My very green breakfast, look at how good this looks.

There's my green grapes, the kiwi, the honeydew,

and I cut up the wrap so you can see the insides.

It is super, super green.

Then over here, of course, I have my green smoothie.

I am so pleased with how this turned out.

I love how creamy this smoothie looks

because of the avocado.

But this wrap, you guys.

It is literally filled to the brim with green stuff.

I say green food challenge,

but honestly this is more like 24 hours

of eating really healthy.

I am a very ready to tuck in.

I'm gonna start by taking a sip of this smoothie.

I love this consistency, it's like a milkshake.

There is that very, very subtle sweetness of the pear.

And there's a little bit

of tartness from the Granny Smith apple,

but mostly I just taste the avocado.

This, for sure, is something

that I would most likely be drinking every day if I could.

Next up are my fruits.

Honeydew.

You can't go wrong with that.

There's my green kiwi, look at how green that is.

I love kiwis.

Oh, this kiwi is super sweet.

I should have put it in the smoothie,

Some classic green grapes.

I love it.

I love being able to eat so much fruit on this challenge.

I've been holding this off

because I was so excited about it.

My wrap, I'll take a big bite.

It's a very clean taste.

This is such a great way to have a light breakfast,

but it can still keep you full until lunch.

Green foods day is going fairly well so far.

Breakfast was such a delight to have.

I was able to have a lot of things

that I normally really love.

So I am actually really looking forward

to the rest of the day.

I'm going to continue sipping

at my smoothie as I work at my desk.

And I will check back in when it's lunchtime.

It is lunchtime and I am pretty excited.

I have been waiting the past couple of hours since breakfast

because there's so much to work with.

I think lunch is gonna be pretty amazing.

Even just by looking at what I have here,

you guys can see that there's a lot of green going on.

I have a little bit of okra here,

zucchini, lime, green bell pepper, cilantro.

This is green tea noodles.

FYI, this is the packaging for it.

You can see that it's made from green tea

which is pretty awesome as somebody

who really likes green tea.

The flavor actually doesn't stand out too much,

but it comes out this beautiful green.

There's bok choy which has always been

a staple for me growing up.

And then over here I just have some scallion, a jalapeno.

A few of these items will be used more

for garnishing purposes.

And then over here I actually have some leftovers

that I ordered yesterday.

This is a Thai green curry

from one of my favorite restaurants here in New York.

The restaurant is called Fish Cheeks.

This is one of my favorite curries from them.

I already kind of poked at it yesterday,

but there's some cauliflower in here still.

I think some snap peas and bit of okra which all qualify.

So I kept them in here.

And then this is Morning Glory,

which is another one of the vegetables

that I grew up eating a lot.

Their stem is hollow, so they have like a crunchier texture

which is really nice so I was thinking

I would add this on top of the noodles.

Last but not least,

I have this really special seafood sauce.

And the reason it's such a vibrant green usually is

because for this one, I know they use Thai Bird's eye chili,

and then there's also cilantro in here, some lime garlic.

And of course some fish sauce.

This is magical.

There's so much flavor packed into it.

So I wanted to just also add a little bit to this dish.

I really just like how this looks.

So much green.

Since I already have my green curry here,

which is gonna act as my noodle broth,

I am going to get started with cutting the vegetables

and also cooking the noodles.

First step should be to wash the vegetables.

All washed and ready.

(optimistic music)

Just to keep to the theme,

I'm actually going to only use the green bits here instead

of the white parts.

All my veggies are now prepped.

Add the noodles in.

Can you guys see that it is like a darker green

than like a vibrant green?

This is definitely a greener color

now that the flour has been washed away.

So I'm gonna rinse this really quickly.

Now I can start working on the soup broth.

For the rest of today I am just gonna

be using avocado oil since it just seems appropriate

because avocado, green.

Gently fry up some of these vegetables.

Add in the green curry.

Oh, toss in my okra, also the bok choy.

Now I'm just going to let it simmer

and let the vegetables soften a little.

Then it's pretty much done, lunch should be ready.

(optimistic music)

Alright, it is done and it

is super, super packed with vegetables.

Look at this, oh my goodness.

There's at least 10 different types of vegetables in here.

I love how this turned out

because there's like lighter shades, darker shades,

and there's like a good combination of flavors.

It's just very healthy at the same time.

It looks really delicious.

Let me just drizzle on the sauce for that final finish.

Just a little glug, glug.

I can smell it from here.

There's a lot of spice.

I mean, there's a lot of green chili in this.

Excited.

I'm gonna pair this meal

with this green juice I bought yesterday.

It has a bunch of stuff in there.

Pure greens it says.

A very, very green meal today.

Let's do a green noodle pool.

I'm like already salivating just looking at it.

Here we go.

Oh yeah.

It tastes like normal noodles,

but with the added benefits of green tea, I guess.

I also love cilantro.

I think it adds so much to every type

of sauce, broth, et cetera.

Goes great with noodles.

Here's that Morning Glory.

When you bite into it, it just has that big crunch.

Also the green peppers have now become a lighter green.

They're super soft and tender now.

Oh, the bok choy.

Zucchini, they've completely soaked up

that green curry flavor.

Oh man, this is really good.

Not sure if I should be eating the entire slice here.

I'm just gonna do it for you guys.

I want to cry.

Time for some juice!

They weren't kidding when they said purely just vegetables

because there's no added sweetness in this at all.

Only the natural sweetness of whatever vegetables in here

and there's not a lot of that.

Very, very healthy.

You know how sometimes things just taste super healthy?

This is one of those.

Instead of just going straight to salads,

there's so many other ways we can cook vegetables.

I feel like I could eat a whole bowl

of vegetables cooked in this broth.

I am very, very happy with this dish.

I think I got to eat a lot of vegetables, very satisfied.

I am now gonna go back to work,

see if there's anything else I need to get for dinner.

I will see you guys then.

Hello, hello.

It is a little early for dinner right now,

but I went shopping earlier and I found this.

I had to buy this because I feel like

the ones we usually see are made
