HELP: in need of Spinach recipies

Google Green Monster. A few weeks ago someone made a post on here about green monster smoothies - basically a smoothie that has spinach in it. I googled it a few days later when I could no longer find the post and and got a ton of recipes (mainly smoothies) that contain spinach. I tried a few versions and believe it or not some are really good, low calorie, and provide a ton of energy.

Saute spinach, diced tomatoes and a few kalamata olives in olive oil or even canola if you are watching cholesterol.
Add garlic and/or onion at your preference.
Mix with a whole grain pasta (I prefer farfalle) and some feta cheese. Add chicken or tofu for an added protien boost.

The olives do add some fat, but the saltiness of just a few really adds a great flavor with jut a few.
Goat cheese works well instead of feta as well, and melts better as you mix it if you want a different twist.
Cut out the cheese if you are avoiding lactose or dairy-fat.
The touch of oil from the sautee substitutes nicely for a sauce - and helps with the mixing.

Sorry I don't have the exact calories for this anymore.
But this is an amazing recipe to be so healthy!

I have made a simple soup with it. Low sodium chicken stock, cheese tortillini, garlic (minced) and then just before you serve it, stir in fresh spinach. This is a recipe from Giada Delarentis ont he food network. Love it. Takes no time at all and is light and wonderful.
I have also made pesto witht he fresh spinach. Make it just like regular pesto. Add toasted pinenuts and oliveoil to food processor. it is really good. Oh and the parmeasan cheese too!

My kids love this one...

Cottage cheese (a container, up too you how much I usually put the whole thing in)
Cheddar Cheese or you could use a healthier cheese...mozzarella? (1 1/2 cups or more)

and a frozen pie crust

mix everything together. Put it in the pie crust, cover it with the other pie crust.
Bake at 250 for an hour or until brown.

I am new to this but I got a great tasting recipe from the tv show "Giada". I don't know the nutritional values but here it is: I use a big bag of fresh spinach and roughly 3-4 garlic cloves diced small. In frying pan drizzle olive oil and heat then add garlic for a few and add spinach till sauteed down. Sprinkle with a wee bit of sea salt if needed. There u go. It is DELICIOUS. The kids love it.
