It can be difficult to get your greens in, especially if you aren’t a big fan of the taste. These green spinach muffins are exactly what you need to help you get them in, and all their nutrients. I am all about getting the most out of what you are eating. By making food packed full of vitamins and minerals, stuff to just make you feel good, like these green spinach muffins.

Let’s get into the star of the show: Spinach.

Benefits Of Spinach

Spinach. High in niacin, zinc, folate, magnesium, and vitamins A,C,E and K. It is also full of flavonoids which is important because flavonoids act as antioxidants in the body to stop cholesterol from oxidizing in your body and forming free radicals. FYI free radicals cause damage in the body and lead to inflammation, chronic disease and more. The folate in spinach is also super important for your cardiovascular system, while the magnesium helps to lower blood pressure.

So all around, it is a great vegetable to sneak in whenever you can, I always add it to smoothies, but today we are adding it to muffins and making these green spinach muffins. Plus, it gives them a great green color without adding anything artificial.
