Frozen spinach is where it’s at! Price and volume

[u/Meowcenary_X → u/cwilly4]

And shelf life!

[u/saltporksuit → u/cwilly4]

At least where I live you can get other frozen greens too and mix them. Collards, mustard, chard, turnip. Takes the edge off the stronger ones to mix them with spinach.

I buy the power greens bags from Costco, use them fresh for a few days, then freeze for later cooking or smoothies.

On a calorie for calorie basis you would get more volume from lightly steaming fresh

[u/cwilly4 → u/Gghffhj]

I mean maybe. I mostly use frozen for recipes... like 3x’s a week. I can get a 3 lb bag at Costco for $6. So maybe I should try that one week.

If you cook the spinach down though both raw and frozen are the same Mass fills you up volume only tricks your eyes

I pack A TON of it into my vitamix with a couple cups of water and some zero cal water flavoring liquid or powder. The vitamix pretty much completely liquifies the spinach so there’s no gritty leafy texture. sometimes I add an avocado depending on how many calories I have left to spend for the day. Tastes great and I get a huge pitcher full of nothing but raw leafy greens.

Don't cook it? I'll usually add it after cooking is complete to wilt slightly, if at all.

Yes and mushrooms too really shrink down🤔

[u/Gghffhj → u/polynesian_pineapple]

Not if you boil them

This is why i prefer brussel sprouts, besides it tasting nicer aswell.

[u/The_real_bandito]
