]]> There is nothing more disappointing than realizing the spinach you bought (with every intention to eat!) has gone soggy and gross at the back corner of your fridge. It can sometimes feel impossible to eat it before it turns into this disgusting, slimy mess. Thankfully, Instagrammer Armen Adamjan, also known as @creative_explained, has a solution! The solution is turning your spinach into a DIY powder before it goes bad.

How to Make Spinach Powder

Making spinach powder is relatively simple. All you have to do is lay your spinach out on a parchment paper-lined baking tray and dehydrate it in the oven. Be sure to preheat your oven to 125 degrees Fahrenheit until it is extremely dry (but before it burns!). Then take the dehydrated spinach out and blend it in a blender or coffee grinder until it forms a fine powder. You can store this powder for up to six months!

How to Use Spinach Powder

Spinach powder can be used for all sorts of meals. One of the best ways to use it is in smoothies to get the extra vitamins, minerals, and fiber of regular spinach, but without the chunks of spinach throughout the smoothie! You can also add this to sauces and many other dishes for a boost of nutrition!

]]> When you think of healthy foods, vegetables are often top of the list. But not all vegetables are created equally and most people aren’t eating enough leafy greens. These vegetables are packed with vitamins, minerals, and fiber and can offer numerous health benefits. Here are some leafy greens to eat every day.

Kale

Kale is packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Vitamins K, A, and C are highly prevalent in kale and it contains lutein and beta-carotene which can reduce the risk of diseases. It is best consumed raw, as cooking it can reduce the nutrient value, so add it to your lunchtime salad and enjoy the benefits.

Collard Greens

Collard greens are a loose leaf green, with a slightly bitter taste, so they’re best served cooked with some flavor. They are a great source of calcium and vitamins A, B9 (folate), and C and one of the best sources of vitamin K, which can reduce blood clotting.

Spinach

Spinach is a common leafy green used in salads, frittatas, on top of pizza, and for smoothies. One cup of raw spinach provides you with 181% of your daily value of vitamin K. It’s also packed with folate which helps with red blood cell production and is needed for women when they are pregnant.

Arugula

This leafy green, otherwise known as rocket, has a slightly peppery taste and is often used in salads or added as a garnish on top of a sandwich. It is one of the best sources of dietary nitrates, which helps to increase blood flow and reduce blood pressure.
