The Treasure in My Freezer

Maybe you didn't realize that spinach is one of the most nutrient-dense and low calorie foods you can (and should) eat. Maybe you did, but you hate having to buy it fresh and then race to use it up before it wilts. Or maybe you just don't really like the taste of it in salads. Have I got a post for you!


Here are some of the easy and delicious ways to work frozen spinach into your diet:

• Mix into scrambled eggs (add feta cheese and sun dried tomatoes for an extra punch)


• Add to canned or homemade veggies soup or minestrone


• Mix with low fat Greek yogurt in a sourdough bowl (this makes a complete meal)


• Add to each of the Trader Joes pre-packaged stir-fry varieties

I eat frozen spinach almost every day, along with a small can of V8 and raw veggies (usually broccoli and cauliflower dipped in hummus). So even without a salad, that gets my veggie content to around 25% of my total daily intake.

What's yours?
