WHY IT'S KETO-FRIENDLY
- Use the raw weight before sautéing when calculating from this entry.
PREPARATION SUGGESTIONS
SAUTEED WITH GARLIC
Quickly saute fresh spinach in olive oil or butter with minced garlic, salt, and red pepper flakes. Wilts down in 2-3 minutes for a simple, classic side.
RAW IN SALADS
Use baby spinach as a salad base with bacon, hard-boiled eggs, parmesan, and a creamy keto dressing. Add walnuts or pecans for extra crunch.
CREAMED SPINACH
Cook spinach then combine with heavy cream, cream cheese, garlic, and parmesan. A rich, indulgent keto side dish perfect for steak dinners.
SMOOTHIE BOOST
Add raw spinach to keto smoothies with avocado, coconut milk, and protein powder. The mild flavor disappears while adding nutrients.
EGGS AND SPINACH
Fold fresh spinach into scrambled eggs or omelets with feta cheese. Or make a frittata with spinach, bacon, and cheddar.
SPINACH DIP
Mix cooked spinach with cream cheese, sour cream, artichokes, and mozzarella. Bake until bubbly and serve with keto crackers or veggies.
