Delicious Spinach

Posted by Lela D.

I know bagged spinach got a bad wrap last year, but this is one of my favorite staples to have on hand. It's great raw for salads. You don't need to be fancy. Just mix it in with your regular green salad. Or you could buy some pre-sliced mushrooms and a can of mandarin oranges, boil a couple eggs and toss on some bacon bits and you?ve got yourself a meal. If you're a juicer, spinach is a great thing to add to your juice. Adding some spinach to carrot juice will turn it an ugly color, but you won?t really taste it. It's worth it for all the nutrients it packs. If you like cooked spinach, nothing could be easier. Just empty the bag into a glass bowl and microwave for a minute or two. I like to spray mine with one of the new salad dressing sprays, or if I'm feeling decadent, I'll use one of my favorite not-so-low-cal dressings. A little goes a long way! It's fast and you feel like you're eating real food.
