What are your favorite ways to incorporate spinach into your diet?
One of my favorite ways of getting my spinach is by juicing it!
Of course, the taste of pure spinach juice isn’t very appealing even for most veganists but if you mix in some apples and carrots it becomes really tastefull.
I found out that when i drink this juice before playing football it increases my speed and the strength of my shot.
Best regards,

But does juicing provide all the nutrients spinach offers? Does anything get lost in the juicing process? Like the bulk and fiber? I’ve oftened wondered about juicing vs just eating the whole plant.
