Fresh Spinach

I put it in smoothies and scrambled eggs and pasta also.

omelettes...and I have a big spinach salad with lots of vegetables and a little protein nearly every work day for lunch...really filling...

Salads, use it on sandwiches instead of lettuce.

I use frozen, chopped spinach in with ground chicken breast to make tacos. You don't taste it/ kids don't know it's there.

Use in salads.. or as your salad base.

Replace lettuce with it in sandwiches. It has 5x more fiber than lettuce! :flowerforyou:

my favorite!

Saute some shrimp and use the spinach in that. Spinach and Shrimp go really well together. Just let it wilt in the pan with the shrimp once it is done.

My favorite salad of the week:
-organic baby spinach
-cottage cheese low fat 2%
-cooked cut up chicken breast
-pomegranate seeds
Mix it all together and enjoy!
