Vegan spinach recipes.

Spinach has always been one of my favorite ingredients! Not only for its innumerable health benefits but also for its versatility. Spinach can be served raw in salads, wraps, or on sandwiches. It can be added to cooked soups, stews, or curries. It can be used as a filling for pasta or savory pies. It can even be added to baked goods and smoothies!

Another thing I love about spinach is how affordable and easy it is. You can buy it fresh by the pound or conveniently frozen.

If you love spinach and want to find more ways to include it in your diet--or if you hate spinach, but know you should be eating more of it, then this collection of over 20 Spinach Recipes is for you!

Can I use frozen spinach?

For recipes where the spinach is cooked, frozen spinach generally works as an easy substitute for fresh. A 10 oz pack of frozen spinach is roughly equivalent to 1 pound of fresh. For more tips on subbing frozen spinach for fresh, check out this article.

Vegan spinach dips & sauces

Spinach is great for adding to dips and sauces of all kinds. It has a mild, neutral flavor but packs a nutritional punch. Adding it to sauces and dips can be a great way for people who don't love salads.
