10 Easy Ways to Use Microgreens Every Day

Microgreens aren’t just pretty garnishes—they’re a nutrient-dense, flavor-packed upgrade for your everyday meals. Whether you’re a busy parent, meal-prepper, or home chef, microgreens are an easy way to add freshness, crunch, and color to your plate with zero fuss. 

Here are 10 simple ways to make microgreens part of your daily routine: 

1. 🥑  Top Your Avocado Toast 

Level up your morning avo toast with a handful of spicy radish or earthy kale microgreens. They add a perfect crunch and a nutrient kick. 

2. 🍳 Toss Them on Eggs 

Scrambled, fried, or poached—eggs love microgreens. Sprinkle a few on top for a gourmet touch and a pop of flavor. 

3. 🥗  Mix Into Salads 

Add texture and variety to any salad by tossing in a handful of microgreens. Try them with spinach, arugula, or romaine for a mix of flavors. 

4. 🥪  Upgrade Your Sandwiches & Wraps 

Use microgreens instead of lettuce or mix them in with your fillings for added crunch and spice. Perfect in turkey wraps, veggie pitas, or chicken salad sandwiches. 

5. 🥣  Garnish Soups and Stews 

A handful of microgreens on a hot bowl of soup? Chef’s kiss. They add brightness and balance to rich or creamy dishes like tomato bisque or potato leek. 

6. 🧋 Blend Into Smoothies 

Yes, you can drink them! Toss in milder greens like broccoli or kale microgreens for a subtle boost of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. 

7. 🌮  Top Tacos or Nachos 

Skip the iceberg lettuce and go for something bolder. Radish or cilantro microgreens add a peppery bite and visual flair to tacos, nachos, and burrito bowls. 

8. 🍛  Sprinkle Over Rice, Grains, or Pasta 

Microgreens add a fresh finish to bowls with rice, quinoa, farro, or pasta. Think of them like herbs, but with more body and flavor. 

9. 🥟  Add to Stir-Fries (At the End!) 

Toss microgreens into your stir-fry just before serving. They’ll wilt slightly from the heat but retain texture and color—great for a visual and nutritional boost. 

10. 🍕 Garnish Pizza or Flatbreads 

After baking, add a handful of microgreens over your pizza or flatbread. Pea shoots on a Margherita? Cilantro microgreens on BBQ chicken? Yes, please. 

🌟 Bonus Tip: Keep a container in the fridge and use it like you would fresh herbs or salad greens—except microgreens are denser in nutrients and even easier to enjoy.
