there's a lot of leafy greens out there, but there's only Two that I use on a regular basis: Spinach and Kale.
Leafy greens are quite easy to prepare; they can be steamed easily, or thrown in with a stir fry. They are also great for green smoothies.
The one downside to this versatile food group is that they do tend to be expensive, and don't last a long time. One week in the fridge is probably the most you can get away with. (freezing is always an option too).

one easy to prepare meal is based on the principle of:
"Grain, Green, Bean'.
one can have cooked grains in the fridge (like rice), add a leafy green, and then throw in half a can of beans.
some examples:
One Pot Kale and Quinoa Pilaf + Cannellini Beans
