   I always freeze my spinach! I’ve been doing it for years.

   Have you seen the “banana soft serve” idea?…frozen banana pieces in the food processor – process until “soft serve” consistency!

   Sorry Roni! I really didn’t realize it was share-worthy! :)

   Totally! I can’t believe I’ve been throwing them away. Really.. sometimes it’s the simplest idea!

   I totally remember sending that post to you and I’m so glad you liked it as much as I did! Heather is a total genius! I cannot believe how much spinach I’ve thrown away before learning this trick. And I totally cracked up when you said you over-freeze things. Man, do I know about that….with frozen bananas, actually. Found a few of them in the way back of our freezer when we were moving. Ew!

   I’m so bad with taking advantage of my freezer! Other than banana, berries, and veggie burgers my freezer is pretty empty!! This is a great tip… and I agree, sometimes t’s the simplest ideas that are the best tips!!

   You know you can make spinach chips just like kale chips? There’s a restaurant in DC that makes a really interesting palaak chat (indian style toppings) out of crispy spinach. Yeah, frozen spinach can go in omelets, chili, taco meat, burger meat, bread, smoothies, rice pilaf…

    Roni–I actually prefer to read blogs and not watch videos…don’t worry about slacking :). I just found your sites a few weeks ago. I love it. I’m done having babies, and my desire to lose weight is that 1) I don’t have any other major life events to cause me to gain the weight back so if I lose it, I can just maintain and 2) I want to be healthy and active to enjoy my kids and my life. You are awesome and such an inspiration!

    Thanks for the tips. I’m totally guilty of tossing lanky spinach. Hmmm, spinach on plums – good one, little man! Karate chop!

    Can you use the spinach on sandwiches like if it was fresh.

    Also frozen bananas — this is what I do–
    I take one banana and mesh it up really well and then freeze it and eat it like ice cream. YOu could add a little skim milk and stir well. That is also good but I just like the mesh frozen banana.
    thanks for the great tips.

    Barbara – You really can’t use it like raw the texture changes a but. but it’s great in cooked dished!

    RG – Didn’t know that although I tried it with swiss chard and that worked. I wonder if there is a leafy green that wouldn’t.

    Mercy – yea.. not that many people watch them but I like to be consistent for the ones that do. :)
