    @amandavsevilla 7 років тому +13

    You can try blending your spinach with your smoothie! They don't add much taste, especially when you use a lot of sweet fruits like bananas or mango :) Spinach is super easy to add to stir fries, soups, and things like tofu scrambles since they cook down so easily.

    @gsfm9699 7 років тому +7

    Spinach is my favorite type of greens to add to a smoothie. I'll use at least two large handfuls and blend it with fruit and almond milk and usually vegan protein powder, hemp seeds or nut butter. Adding vanilla extract and/or cinnamon is good too!

    Hi Lisa, I add spinach, kale or other power greens to my smoothies in the morning. Just use frozen organic fruit, water and chia seeds and any green leafy vegetable and you have a great tasting healthy smoothie. :)

    You can put spinach in your smoothies, stir fry or any meal where you sautéed or grill a lot of veggies. And of course you can boil it too

    I can't wait to try all of these! Thank you!!!
    As far as spinach, I love making my own veggie pizzas with a tortilla and I put tons of spinach on it. The last one I made had tomatoes, red onion, mushrooms, broccoli, garlic, a tiny bit of vegan cheese and lots of spinach. Baked it in the oven for about 15 minutes. Really tasty & filling!

    @liliopyu12 7 років тому +3

    There is a Greek dish called spanakorizo! It's mainly spinach with green onions wilted and then you cook rice in it! It is very easy and tasty! If you add some lemon juice on top it is perfect

  • @nothanksmegan
    @nothanksmegan 7 років тому +5

    Whenever I have a smoothie I throw in a generous handful of spinach or kale. When I make beans, rice, quinoa, tofu scramble, soup, pasta, and even even hummus I throw in loads of spinach.

  • @kreeepkeila9980
    @kreeepkeila9980 7 років тому +4

    Spinach tastes delicious sautéed with some mushrooms, lime juice, and soy sauce! And when it cooks, it shrinks so you can eat a whole lot and it won't even feel overwhelming!!

  • @kevinp5052
    @kevinp5052 7 років тому +2

  • @jennifffurrr
    @jennifffurrr 7 років тому +6

    I would never eat my veggies until I started putting spinach into my breakfast smoothies! So delish and refreshing I love it!
    Spinach
    Banana
    Yogurt
    Vanilla protein powder
    Water & ice
    Sometimes I add berries 😋

  • @VeronicaLeroyV
    @VeronicaLeroyV 7 років тому +2

    I have a problem with greens too haha, but I love making green smoothies! Mango or banana and baby spinach is absolutely amazing. You can add matcha powder if you like matcha and coconut milk makes it taste lovely too! I also add spinach to whatever I am making for lunch, even curries or veggie stir fries, just add some in the mixture and you won't even know it's there ☺️

    I love baking cauliflower. Rinse the whole cauliflower, cut the leaves and the tail part. Then start cutting it like you'd cut an orange (round slices, around 0.75in thick). Some florets will fall but you'll put them in the pan anyway. Place the slices on the pan, drizzle olive oil, salt, pepper, and put into the oven at around 450F for about 35 minutes. I pair it with a slice of baked salmon and the dinner's ready!

  • @BeingHumane173

    @labibliobecca 7 років тому +2

    I make a smoothie that tastes like a green apple jolly rancher and is packed with spinach. I blend plant-based milk (coconut almond is my favorite) with the spinach separately first, just to make it really smooth and make it easier to pack in the rest of the ingredients. Then I add frozen banana and frozen mango, granny smith apple with the skin on, and the juice of a lime. It's honestly delicious.

    Add a pound of spinach into your smoothie and a half a green apple, half a lemon, and pinapple to counteract the flavor. Its so delicious.

  • @priscilajmarquez46
    @priscilajmarquez46 7 років тому +2

    I already liked this video and then I saw the sofritos part and it turned into my fav! I'm obsessed!
    I love to add spinach to a scramble (sauté lightly with garlic.. sooo good), you could also make a spinach tarte (with onions or mushroom which complements it), you can do spinach enchiladas (some of my fav at my local Mexican restaurant) and also spinach to a green salsa on top, spinach quiche, spinach artichoke dip, and of course adding it in a smoothie with your fav fruit

  • @emmacooper4286
    @emmacooper4286 7 років тому +9

    Sautee some spinach with minced garlic! You can eat a large volume of spinach that way because it all shrinks down. Or add a bunch into soups/stews.

    • @lindacosta3381
      @lindacosta3381 7 років тому

      Emma Cooper and it’s delicious with pasta:)

  • @maryellen9539
    @maryellen9539 7 років тому +1

    You can use spinach in a pesto sauce or you can add it in to a chimichurri style sauce which is the best in the Summer. I one time made a dandelion and spinach chimichurri. it's amazing on anything grilled. most "one pot" meals I make such as curries, tomato sauces, stir fries, soups etc... I usually just toss a hand full or 2 of spinach in at the last minute and just allow it to wilt into the dish. It's the same with any leafy green really, just last night for example I made a chickpea and cauliflower curry and at the last minute I added shredded kale and brussels sprout leaves. I also usually add bunches of spinach in with my cooked grains at the last minutes of cooking.

  • @Jaojaojy
    @Jaojaojy 5 років тому +5

    You can sauté spinach with olive oil and onion, so gooddd and light w/ only essential ingredients

  • @laurafegely6533
    @laurafegely6533 7 років тому +1

    A quick way I get spinach into my diet is to add it to literally any cooked dinner I have. If I make tomato soup, I just put it in the pot once the soup is almost done cooking, and it wilts and adds some more texture to the soup. If I have pasta, I just stir it into the pasta when it's done cooking, or I mix it in with the pasta sauce. It's so easy to add a ton of spinach because it cooks down a lot. It's definitely my favorite vegetable because you can add it to so many things!

  • @tamaraansary7678
    @tamaraansary7678 7 років тому +7

    Put those spinach leaves in your smoothies. Spinach, banana, cinnamon and vanilla soy milk in a smoothie is heaven! Or cook it with your pasta for the sauce, or with your tofu scramble

  • @valheartscsr

  • @obliviousdimenions

  • @justinepinzon9415
    @justinepinzon9415 7 років тому +1

    Smoothies are also a great way to incorporate all sorts of greens! I also like to sneak them in any dish I eat throughout the day. If I have rice, beans, corn, at the very bottom I'll place spinach that way I end up eating it anyways.

    I have a smoothie or banana ice cream almost every day and I always add a few large handfuls of spinach to that. Super easy and you really can't taste it! Also sometimes I blend veggie broth, ginger, spinach, cilantro, and garlic in a blender and use that liquid to cook rice or quinoa. Another good way to get in greens :)

  • @TheScarredEclipse

  • @keel7898
    @keel7898 7 років тому +1

    I recommend adding spinach to smoothies (you can't really taste it if you incorporate fruit) or sautéing it. Since spinach contains a lot of water, one pound of fresh spinach will cook down to about one cup of cooked spinach which is great if you're trying to eat more vegetables.

  • @ginacasu

    Hi about the spinach. I always take some frozen and warm it in oil in a pot add salt and up to three cloves of garlic, don't add water. Add a little chili paste and when served add some lemon juice on top of it. Typically eaten like a snack or dip for flat pita bread. Or just as it is. ♥

    I love loaded veggie pizzas - wilt a bunch of spinach by sauteing or use frozen spinach, defrost it, and squeeze it out, and add it as a pizza topping! I usually have a inch-high pile of veggies on my pizzas, lol. I also second using spinach in pesto (or half spinach half basil)! For other veggies, I usually roast a bunch of veggies at the beginning of the week and eat them as a side dish, and also cut up raw veggies that go well in hummus!

  • @carinproud434

    Also eating sautéed spinach is a great way to get a ton in and you don't need to use a bunch of oil just some spices and wilt it down I also add steamed or sautéed spinach to any pasta I make. You can put it with anything really!

    I'm someone who can eat soup all year round, so every time I make a batch of a broth based soup I always add TONS of kale or spinach. You could seriously squeeze in two bags of spinach into one large batch of soup and the have it for a few hearty meals. Tofu hold up really well in soup too if you ever want to add some for more protein! Try looking up "detox soup" or "meatless Italian wedding soup" and start from there!
