    \"spinach<\/p>\n

    I think you probably know the spinach I'm talking about: it's been in the fridge too long, so a few leaves are starting to go slimy, and when you reach in to grab a nice, fresh, delicious handfull of spinach, your hand gets attacked by slime. It's gross. It immediately makes me want to make it rain spinach leaves everywhere because I don't want to continue touching the slime!<\/p>\n

    After joining Costco, and commencing buying the ridiculously large bags of spinach (really, I think they're 10 lbs... that's bigger than a baby! {usually}), I had to get creative about storing it. Sometimes we could actually go through the bag in time, but other times... It felt wasteful.<\/p>\n

    \"spinach<\/p>\n

    Solution: SPINACH CUBES! The majority of my spinach-eating comes in smoothie form. You can pack SO much spinach into a smoothie and not taste a thing, so... why not? It makes me feel like I'm trying to do the healthy thing, even if I follow that smoothie with lots of cookie butter. Luckily, you don't need leafy green spinach to do this: cubes work perfectly. Just toss a few (I do 2-3) into your smoothie, and BOOM: veggie-dose!<\/p>\n

    \"spinach<\/p>\n

    I'm not going to post a real recipe for this, as I think you can figure it out. I put as much spinach as I could in my food processor, plus about \u00bc cup of water, and let it go until smooth. It doesn't even really need to be that smooth. Pour into ice-cube containers (or muffin tins!), freeze, and then move to a plastic bag to store! Easy-peasy!<\/p>\n

    Not recommended: using as ice-cubes in a drinky-drink. Ew.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
