Panini - turkey, spinach, bacon, avocado, provolone
Fresh spinach on pizza is good.
I also like to cook fresh spinach until wilted and add to eggs.

I wilt it and put it in mini quiches with turkey bacon and onions.

I love it in my morning protein shake whipped up in the vitamix:

1 cup almond milk
1.5 scoops chocolate dymatize
2 cups organic spinach, not cooked
1/2 banana (or a whole if I'm drinking after my workout)

blend and drink - I crave this every morning, it's my favorite breakfast!

I love baking fish on top of a bed of spinach.

Simple, clean, and easy recipe: take a large piece of aluminum foil, layer with a bed of spinach (however much you'd like). Add garlic, peppers, mushrooms (or any veggies you want) asparagus is good. Place a seasoned tilapia fillet on top, finish with some lime or lemon juice. Close foil around ingredients to make a tent and bake at 400 for 12-15 minutes.

I'm a big spinach fan but have recently started switching out spinach in some recipes with swiss chard. OMG i went to a workshop at a botanical garden and we picked out own swiss chard from the planting area and made these grilled swiss chard packets filled with part skim mozzarella and sliced heirloom tomatoes! To Freakin Die For!!!

great. now I'm hungry and have no chard. or cheese. or buhmaters.

I love spinach in smoothies. I also love it cooked with garbanzos and tomatoes.

I love fresh spinach. Use it instead of lettuce on my sandwiches. Put it into my green smoothies, Saute with a little oil and a lotta garlic. Eat baby spinach like I used to eat potato chips...great finger food.

Some great ideas in this thread...spinach is on the grocery list!

I don't have the calorie count, but I love putting it in white pasta sauce. Oh my goodness, it adds such a beautiful flavor!
