4 servings
- 1 large bunch collard greens (about 1 lb), stems removed, leaves cut into 1-inch ribbons
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated
Ingredient noteInterstitial cystitis treats warming spices like ginger as test-your-tolerance because they can irritate a sensitive bladder, but the small amount in this recipe (~3/4 tsp per serving) is likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid fresh ginger, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ¼ cup water
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp coconut aminos
- ½ tsp turmeric
Ingredient noteTurmeric can trigger interstitial cystitis symptoms in some people, but the small amount in this recipe (~1/8 tsp per serving) is likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid turmeric, please tap it and change its rating to Red.

- 1–2 tsp fresh lemon juice (optional)
