Here on A Handful of Spinach, you will see me drinking smoothies a lot. When I first started running in the fall of 2009, I learned about green monsters. I was making smoothies every day and almost every time, I would add a handful of spinach to whatever fruit and spice concoction I was was blending up. I was making some pumpkin pancakes once for my daughter and my friend asked me if I planned on adding a handful of spinach to them. I didn’t but the blog name was born.
Smoothies for me are a must after every long run.
Smoothies are my savior late at night when I just have to have something sweet.
Try’em out! They are delicious!
You can also add a handful of spinach to almost anything else you are cooking. Try these awesome spinach enchiladas verde.
What is the weight of a handful of spinach?
I have no idea Phillip. Not very much and it is packed with nutrients! I put handfuls of spinach in smoothies all the time. Enjoy!
Thanks. My problem is that my hands are quite big and I often double recipes, so I don’t know how much spinach to buy when a recipe calls for a handful of spinach. However, a little extra probably couldn’t hurt!
