[@halle.reads88]

spinach in smoothies are amazing also scrambled tofu with spinach. Vegan quesadillas with mushroom and spinach, or wilt spinach in any pasta or rice dish

[@gsfm9699]

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!

[@amandavsevilla]

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.

[@nettiepop]

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. :)

[@elizabethlucile7643]

I love adding greens. It definitely makes the smoothie thicker as well as even healthier :)!

[@nothanksmegan]

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.

[@gennyArs]

I usually put spinach in my smoothies, mixed with green apples, bananas, kale, orange juice, cinnamon and ginger

[@bhad_annie2306]

Genevieve Arseneault I'm gonna try that

[@issymather8116]

add spinach to smoothies, curries, pasta dishes, oven baked spinach chips or sautéed with mushroom : )

[@sharicebryant8149]

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

[@liliopyu12]

Spinach, banana, and pineapple is one of my favorite smoothies! I also LOVE sautéing spinach and other greens with lots of garlic and a dash of hot sauce on the side of other recipes!

[@nikimyrintzoy1913]

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

[@nannerpuss218]

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!

[@ashhhhhhxO]

Lisa, your What I Eat In A Day videos are my absolute favorite. I've tried a few of your recipes and love them always! I love that they usually have very minimal ingredients, it makes it so easy! And of course they're always so healthy. Thank you for these!!!

[@tamaraansary7678]

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

[@jennifffurrr]

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 😋

[@heyitsmilja]

I love having my spinach in green juices and smoothies. I love how you always tell details about nutrition too in your videos!

[@victoria2338]

Spinach-smoothies are literally the best way to eat spinach! I make mine with banana, spinach and cacao-powder

[@justinejulia6873]

You can add spinach in smoothies, into vegan raviolis, add to your pasta, make an avocado spinach sauce for pastas as well, add it to stirfrys, soups, burritos, burrito bowls, veggie burgers, top pizza with it

[@itzelxo3370]

I love the variety , it's so easy I think I finally found someone who would eat & do videos the way I would 💞 ✨

[@kevinp5052]

Blending spinach is great for a green drink! You can get a large amount of spinach in just one cup when blended with other things kale ginger berries a banana and a fruit for taste pineapple, mango etc

[@mariammel]

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!

[@amsiehome7642]

Spinach with a banana and vanilla soy milk in a smoothie tastes really good!

[@kreeepkeila9980]

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!!

[@pandapaw46]

I love sauted spinach and mushrooms along with a baked sweet potato and sometimes brown rice... seems to make the perfect flavor combination. Your videos are really well done and help me think of new meal ideas!!

[@BeingHumane173]

You can try frying spinach with potato, bell peppers and some brinjals with garlic and onion heated in a little oil....

[@monetmiche]

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.

[@GlossyPinkPrincess]

The green sandwich idea looks nice

[@plasticspoon4275]

Spinach is honestly so versatile you can add them in anything. Add them in your smoothie for a green smoothie, add them in your pasta or fried rice for an extra helping of veggie, or make tofu scramble with it. I honestly love spinach if you can't tell 😂

[@VeronicaLeroyV]

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 ☺️

[@brookedeegan1426]

Spinach,frozen mango, frozen pineapple, and yogurt smoothie 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@alimamariyam7380]

Spinach stir fry..eaten with rice...soooo yumm

[@Nailtechfran]

Spinach in my smoothies always!!! You can pack a lot in and disguise the faint taste super easily with most fruits 😊

[@laurafegely6533]

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!

[@ghizalkahkashan6958]

Spinach lasagna, soup and stir fry spinach with mushrooms and garlic powder is amazing and in omelettes too

[@obliviousdimenions]

Apart from sandwiches and salads I use spinach in smoothies, omelette, and sometimes pop it over cooked food like pasta or even soup.

[@cheri1687]

the smoothies and the pasta are a yes, I also get spinach wraps from my friend (she makes them for me idk how sorry)

[@razzlebug9]

Great video!! This is the first "what I eat in a day" video I've seen on KZbin where it doesn't look like undereating or depriving yourself! And girl I love chipotle so much too!! Thanks for the sofritas recipe- I'll definitely be trying it soon!!

[@20isaBeast]

Don't forget your green smoothies! That is a excellent way to get your greens in!

[@BiGH707]

Try a greens smoothie with spinach,frozen pineapple,frozen mango,a banana, and some orange juice!👍

[@kinkyhere]

you can use spinach in a smoothie in the morning! :) i like to add apples/pears, banana, avocado spinach and cinnamon!

[@labibliobecca]

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.

[@Sarah_110]

Great video. Thank you for sharing. Love your softly spoken voice. xx

[@emilybrooke9249]

I usually put spinach in my smoothies every morning. 1 cup spinach 1/2 cup strawberries 1/2 cup blueberries 1/2 cup raspberries 1/2 cup black berries 1 teaspoon of agave nectar And a sprinkle of chia seeds. Add water and blend and usually makes 2 servings ☺️😊 it's delicious. I also love adding spinach and kale to a cous cous bowl with tofu and sun dried tomatoes. But as everyone knows when you cook the spinach it tends to loose some of the important anti oxidants and vitamins so I just prefer to get them all in at the start of my day ☺️

[@TheScarredEclipse]

I looooove spinach in noodles. When I'm making noodles I always add a ton of spinach- it's so good.

[@moamarcus2230]

I always put ALOT of spinach in my smoothies in the mornings! It gives no weird taste or anything, just a beautiful green color to it! HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT! :))

[@valheartscsr]

Spinach pesto!!! Also, putting a ton of spinach into warm pasta dishes and letting it wilt is an easy way to get a lot of greens!

[@michelletrejo9663]

I have a spinach smoothie everyday! Spinach, celery, pineapple and cucumber it's so good and I use maybe 4 handfuls of spinach. You can put it in mason jars and have it throughout the day

[@missjess3583]

Spinach is really good in fruit smoothies!

[@emmacooper4286]

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]

Emma Cooper and it’s delicious with pasta:)

[@rosebynoothername]

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!

[@justinepinzon9415]

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.

[@glenorywilliams3534]

Hey! My mom makes a delicious spinach soup. Just as simple as adding water, spinach, some cut potatoes and your favorite spices to a cooking pot, let it boil and you are good to go

[@kirstenknapp8650]

I have 2 huge handfuls of spinach in my smoothie every morning!

[@priscilajmarquez46]

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

[@joanneelizabeth8278]

For the spinach I put it in a smoothie, with kale, banana, apple, chia seeds, papaya, and a date, with coconut milk. Its so tasty!

[@Jaojaojy]

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

[@shayhojnacki5576]

I put spinach in all my pasta dishes, smoothies and also to add in tofu scramble :)

[@Katek8]

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 :)

[@annesanchez8952]

Hey! Personally I like to make smoothies with fruits and leafy greens, it's a good way to get your greens without tasting them! One of my favourite recipe is to blend 1 banana, 4-5 chunks of pineapple and handfull of spinach with a little bit of water!

[@MyahDBoss]

spinach in smoothies, on pizza, in your stir fried veggies

[@alexissalazarr]

I know smoothies can be boring, but always starting my day with one has been a STELLAR way to get my greens in. I'm like you - I'm all about that fruit! So I started adding in spinach and kale WITH my fruit smoothies & I barely taste it but can definitely feel the benefits ... I hope this helps! :)

[@alexissalazarr]

Also, spinach and tofu scrambles with turmeric and garlic has been an awesome breakfast go to lately!

[@yannadc]

Spinach by a Smoothie! I add a handful of spinach, half banana, berries, peanut butter, maca powder, chia seeds, unsweetened almond milk!

[@Rivalfan]

Spinach is great in soup, pasta, smoothies, wraps, scrambles, stirfry, and even over rice. You can throw it in anything really!!!

[@gabrielabarrios1675]

another way to get a lot of spinach is make spinach pesto!! and toss the sauce with pasta, or use it as a spread for sandwiches and stuff

[@ginacasu]

smoothies are the best !!! I mean if u add a banana to it no matter how much spinach u add in there it's still going to taste amazing :D

[@1220hawkeye]

Gina Ayame yas girl yassss. this is exactly what i do.

[@renreece3828]

I put spinach on everyyything. I add it in smoothies, vegan omelette, pasta, and sautéed with other greens !

[@missbliss7514]

great ways to get greens in is juicing and smoothies. You don't really taste the veggies when mixed w fruit. Always a yummy healthy option!

[@carinproud434]

I love to wilt spinach down (can do a whole bag as it wilts down a lot), crumble over a bit of feta and grate on some fresh nutmeg. Such a great snack or side

[@loganbastedo1180]

I always put spinach in my smoothies!!

[@nicolegeary9636]

If you're looking for a good way to get spinach in, I usually add some in to my pasta with some tomato sauce. It tastes amazing and is really good for you too!

[@esther_beautyfromwithin7091]

spinach smoothies!! I almost take one every morning with at least 200 gram of spinach, half an avocado, 1 banana and some almond milk...yummie!!! So creamy and filling...I sometimes add some chia seeds of hemp seeds!

[@missmikayla5639]

Spinach in a lot of sauces is super good! For pasta

[@denysealvarez9767]

That sandwich looks so good

[@deliaestrela]

I love adding spinach to my smoothies and I always use it as a base in e.g. rice bowls or noodles bowls bc you can't really taste it 😋🌱

[@jordyngenoe7369]

I usually wilt my spinach with some minced garlic, dill, and rosemary then add that to some cooked rice with coconut aminos

[@mariavillegas6800]

I usually put lots of spinach in my smoothies

[@ladytrimpo]

You can cook your spinach with hote wather and then you can put them in a cooking pan with some oil, salt, garlic and pepper. It's delicious

[@zhariajackson3010]

You can add the spinach go your smoothie or you can make a fruit bowl with oats on the side with spinach in the fruit bowl.

[@cydniebureau6167]

spinach galore in a green smoothie with avo and banana! it blends up small and the taste of the fruit is subtle!

[@juliabearce3808]

Putting wilted spinach in pasta is really good

[@lovelybluntdoll]

Handful spinach,1 full banana, 1cup frozen berries, add almond milk, blender for yummy smoothie 🤗

[@keel7898]

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.

[@sophiegarlandturkoglu6184]

wow honestly I was considering going vegan for a while but always thought with a family and stuff it was too complicated. now after watching your videos and trying some of these amazing recipes and seeing how simple it is I'm seriously considering converting! please dont stop what you are doing and thank you! x ♡

[@mackenzieg.3486]

I mix spinach into scrambled tofu (it's good for breakfast on toast or in a tortilla!)

[@shannyfbaby2010]

Spinach- Smoothie, Rice Bowl, Soup, Wraps

[@Yasmin-xd1zg]

I cook spinach in tomato sauce and add whatever seasons I like! I put it on top of a bed of brown rice and top it with nutritional yeast! super yum.

[@Rachel-uy3rw]

With spinach, I just throw it into anything like curry and stews towards the end of cooking because it wilts down so much, you can pack in loads! also, definitely having a taco bowl for lunch after watching this lol

[@anh7807]

My husband used to work at chipotle and I swear he made a version of sofritas that was literally better than the one at Chipotle.

[@jennifervinluan3778]

i put spinach in a lot of smoothies i make

[@maryellen9539]

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.

[@jessicap.748]

I like to squeeze avocados on a slice of bread, to another hummus. Then put on a slice of bread spinach and tomatoes / cucumbers depending on what you want. Love it 🤤

[@staceycourt8290]

I hope exam season is going well for you! Can't wait for your next video, you do an amazing job of shooting and editing

[@lisalorles]

Lisa Lorles miss you so much 😭

[@lensn489]

Make a Smoothie with spinach, banana, raspberry and coconut milk. It's soooo delicious

[@mckenna9359]

I put spinach in my shakes! I like to use it instead of kale because you can't taste the spinach at all and you still get those good green benefits ❤🌱

[@xhuyentran]

When spinach gets heat it shrinks a lot, so you can use it in soups, pasta dishes etc. If you bake bread then you can also add chopped pieces into it ^_^

[@noracorbella1354]

I usually cook the spinach in a pan.

[@nicolemera5908]

I make quinoa with a side of small tomatoes avocado and baby’s spinach and top it off with a over medium egg it’s so yummy! Love your video!❤️

[@marieshark]

I always put spinach in curries! Alongside chickpeas, onion, mushroom, peppers etc..

[@taterluver]

Vegan spinach dip is always great and its pretty easy to make. I make a bunch in the beginning of the week and it lasts quite a while.

[@mamarana524]

want more spinach? throw some in a smoothie. or mix some in with your tofu scramble in the morning

[@liefpandabeertje]

You can put spinach in your smoothies to make it a green smoothie. You won't even taste it because you can only taste the fruit

[@emilylouise3682]
