Thanks for the link. I started on Spinach because my doctor suggested "leafy green vegetables". I tried kale first, but I prefer the taste of spinach. I most often eat it first thing in the morning as a shake: 90g spinach + 1 cup almond milk + half a frozen banana. According to the article, I may want to add some strawberries or oranges for more vitamin C.

Fresh spinach?
- padobson 11y ago
  Depends. I buy groceries every two weeks and get two bags of fresh spinach. I freeze one and leave the other in the vegetable crisper. So the first week it's all fresh, the second week it's frozen.

    If you want more calories, try skirlie (oatmeal and spinach) http://www.mostlyeating.com/skirlie-fast-savoury-oats http://www.mostlyeating.com/skirlie-fast-savoury-oats

You tried kale before spinach? WTF? What's the story behind that?
- padobson 11y ago
  Since the doctor's recommendation. Kale seems to have slightly more nutrients, but, IMO, at to great a cost too taste.

    Ah that makes sense. Still, I stand by my shock. Going to kale before spinach is just nuts (barring pressure from a doctor who doesn't care about your culinary experiences).

      Have you tried cooking it though? Kale is one of the greatest stir fry ingredients

        I had the misfortune of working at a company that chose to get us lunches from Zesty. I endured more varieties of kale preparation (and avocado which I also dislike unless made into guacamole) in a month than in my entire previous life. So many things were great about that job, but I was actually dreading lunch on most days.

    The kale taste can be mitigated somewhat with a mixture of lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper and sesame oil. I do this with spicy arugula too as I often find the taste overpowering.

    I found it to be the other way around, spinach tastes gross and kale is rather neutral. Were you cooking it?
