I love spinach, especially when counting calories. Did you know that spinach only has 10 calories per two cups? I have been buying the prewashed organic baby spinach leaves from Costco for awhile now and just love how easy it is to throw a salad together or put a handful of the leaves on my sandwich wrap. Spinach is very filling and packed with nutrients for only 10 calories. Since the spinach only has 10 calories you can load your salad with other tasty things as well. Today I added nuts, dried cranberries, and a little light cheese then sprayed it with dressing and had a huge plate full of food for about 300 calories.

okay so you use it for a salad or in a sandwhich? I was going to panic if it was cooked. I can deal with just about every other veggie cooked except spinach..
i wish i would have read this before i went to costco this morning! i'll have to pick up a bag next time. that's a really good idea.
I like fresh spinach with nuts and dried craberry's too:) our grocery usually has it near the bagged salads. Baby spinach is so much better then the other if your going to eat it fresh! Frozen is great in manicotti made by our Mom:)
