If
nutrition was a football team, spinach would be the starting
linebacker. It has a wider variety of nutrients, vitamins, and
minerals than just about any other vegetable, going all the way from
vitamin A down to iron.
When
you're at the store, look for baby spinach, preferably triple washed.
Regular spinach can be fairly bitter, but baby spinach tends to have
a slightly sweeter taste, making it easier on your health buds if
you've never been a real big vegetable person.
If
you've been on a diet or a cutting cycle for awhile you're probably
getting pretty sick of salad, so don't box yourself in- spinach is
highly versatile. Throw some wilted spinach into an omelet along with
a helping of feta cheese for a delicious, nutrient rich breakfast.
Toss some baby spinach into a blender for a green smoothie. The
sweet-ish taste of baby spinach blends well with fructose-filled
fruit.
Steamed
spinach is also easy to prepare and can compliment just about any
meal. Use your imagination, or Google some spinach recipes, because
the worst thing you can do with a strict eating routine is get tired
of a particular taste. Vary it up a little.
