Two to three times a week I will bring a whole head of lettuce, kale or
cabbage to work and snack on it throughout the day.  I rinse it and dry
it at home, then just peel away leaves and eat them.  Red cabbage is
my favorite; I find it very easy to eat plain and raw.  If the greens
are too bitter, as is sometimes the case with kale, I will eat it with
a little bit of nut butter (tahini or home-made almond or walnut).

I also consume a fair amount of spinach, microwaved with a little bit
of soy sauce (raw wheat free tamari actually).  This is another simple
way to eat greens at work: just bring a tupperware container full of
pre-rinsed (and chopped if you prefer) spinach.  Nuke it and add a bit
of soy sauce or whatever other seasoning.  (Presently, I'm searching for
a paleo alternative to soy sauce.  Suggestions?)  This would probably
work with kale too.

It never fails to surprise me how tasty plain raw vegetables are, nor how
shocking it is to my coworkers that I eat them.
