Who says oatmeal has to be sweet? Sneak a handful or two of baby spinach into your morning oats for a savory breakfast and a head start on your daily greens.
Spinach is off the charts when it comes to Vitamin K (for bone health) and Vitamin A (for clear, blemish-free skin) and contains a wide variety of phytonutrients, which makes it a particularly potent anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer food.
