St. Paddy’s day is upon us and we all know what that means—green everywhere. From bagels to beer and everything in between, you won’t be able to escape it. So embrace it instead and honor the patron saint of Ireland by eating and drinking green all day long.

Start the day off right with this avocado toast. The healthy fats from the avocado will prepare you for a day of drinking by helping you absorb the alcohol more slowly.

You’ll want to have a hearty lunch to get you through the day. This Big Green-ini has a bunch of healthy greens because, even though you’re probably a drunk mess at this point, you still have to be a responsible adult and eat your veggies.

Everyone gets the drunchies, especially on a day like St. Paddy’s Day. These zucchini chips are a healthy alternative to other salty snacks you would normally go for. Plus, they’re green.

You’ve made it this far, so you deserve a treat. These no-bake Girl Scout cookie truffles are even easy enough for your drunk self to make. Although I’d make them ahead of time just to be safe…

Green tea is a magical drink. It will hydrate you and pump you with antioxidants, hopefully easing your inevitable hangover. Or instead you can go with the drunken debauchery theme of the day and use it to make this green tea gimlet.
