    I'm in love with that too! I like to add some crushed red pepper to spice it up a bit. Kale is also super delicious made in exactly the same way. A big pile of that and whatever meat/protien I'm having that meal and I'm super satisfied!

    Sounds yummy. That's not something I would have even though about doing since I usually eat it raw

    I can eat raw spinach right out of the bag(as long as its organic lol) I love it better raw than cooked.

    I also can. my 6 yr old will pick it out of my spring salad if I let her.

    I didn't have good luck with kale. I tried it a few times and did not enjoy it like I do spinach. OP, have you tried sauteing the spinach with chopped onions, and making an egg white omelet out of it? I love it for breakfast. with a little cheese, yum!
