Frozen spinach

[Anonymous]

I don't love the taste of frozen veggies, so I try to disguise them. My favorite with frozen spinach or kale is to add it to a white bean or black lentil soup (with/without sausage) -- stir in at the end.

Yes! Even if you use the knorr soup mix it's pretty healthy to me. Don't forget the water chestnuts for even more fiber.

cooked spinach has less oxalate

If even spinach isn't healthy, I give up.

I had to Google oxalates. It looks like it's an issue causing kidney stones in some people and binding with minerals like calcium so they're not absorbed. Other of my healthy go-to's are on the list of high oxalates it turns out. Like almonds, which I was just eating as I read this thread, and raspberries. But this WebMD article says that the benefits of spinach outweigh the oxalate concern:

Only about 10% of people get kidney stones--I wouldn't worry about oxalates if you're not one of them.

I make Korean beef bowls and add a block of frozen spinach. I also make spinach-banana muffins, aka Frankenstein muffins. You can’t taste the spinach in either of them.

I bought some for smoothies but noticed that the package says you have to cook it first for food safety. Well that defeats the purpose!

I vote for spinach artichoke dip or an omelette with spinach and Swiss cheese or lasagna roll ups (similar to lasagna in flavor but much less work, and you can make individual portions).

Just be sure to wring out the cooked spinach before adding it, or it will be too wet.
