    Spinach chips!

    Brush lightly with olive oil.
    Add seasoning.
    Bake 350 for 10 mins. or until crispy.

    Put it in smoothies. You can't taste it at all!! (I swear!) I usually put a couple handfuls in mine. :o)

    peppermint shake.

    4 oz skim milk
    1 scoop vanilla protein powder
    1/2 tsp peppermint extract
    1 frozen banana
    2 cups spinach
    sweetener to taste(I use about 2 pkts splenda)
    a few ice cubes.

    Tastes like a mint chocolate chip shake.

    (I've tried chocolate protein, but it is a brownish green, tastes good, but looks nasty. With Vanilla it looks more like a mint shake.)

    I love spinach salads. Especially with fruit and, before I was lactose intolerant, feta.Goes great with chicken and/or bacon on the salad. Spinach is my green of choice for salads!

    I most frequently buy it frozen and eat it in frittatas!

    I had the same problem when i first started buying the baby spinach, I could never eat all of it before it went bad. Now I, not only use it in salads, but I throw it into my shakes as well. Trust me it doesnt taste as bad as you may think!

    Blended salads are yummy. Fill a powerful blender 1/2 with spinach, throw in a few romaine leaves, 4-6 pitted dates for sweetening, water to thin (I sometimes use soy milk), 1 portion of 3-4 kinds of fruit, some good cocoa powder, 1/4-1/2 cup of a nut or seed of your choice. I use walnuts, hemp, or chia usually for the omega 3s. then blend very well. Keep track of what you put in divide the volume and calories by 3 and you have 3 servings . I don't usually let it refrigerate more than 3 days so there's not a big loss of nutrient value. The color isn't much to look at so if you're a visual person...place it in an aluminum sports bottle. I enjoy using raspberries and blueberries with cocoa powder. It tastes great AND the energy boost it amazing! I drank one on the way to work at 6a.m. one day and my lunch break came at 2p.m. that day. I wasn't hungry!! Give it a try...........What do you have to lose!!!(LOL) FYI I use a Vitamix blender. Good luck!

    If you can't finish your spinach before it goes bad you can always blend the spinach with a little water and freeze in ice cube trays and then put them in a bag and add them to smoothies later on.
