Fruit Salad Parfaits
Total Time: 10 minutes
I find ways to add spinach to something I eat nearly every day. I feel good about adding it because spinach is a super food and a good source of iron, vitamin A and vitamin C.
Cook a scrambled egg with a handful of spinach, some sliced green onions and shredded cheese and serve it on a whole grain English muffin for a powerful and delicious breakfast sandwich.
Make a simple can of tomato soup something really special by tossing in a handful of spinach and some Parmesan cheese.
There aren’t many things that won’t benefit from the boost of color, texture and nutrition that a handful of spinach adds. My latest kick is to add spinach to fruit salad and turn it into a bright and colorful Fruit Salad Parfait. It’s great for breakfast, to eat at your desk for a satisfying lunch or as an energizing afternoon pick me up. Make your meals count by including healthy and nutritious ingredients where ever you can.
