Garlicky Sautéed Spinach with Mushrooms

Last Updated on June 29, 2022 by Rebecca Huff

Garlicky Sautéed Spinach with Mushrooms is a simple side dish you can add to just about any meal to increase your intake of leafy greens.

Spinach is one of the healthiest in the leafy green family due to a wide range of nutrients.

Spinach contains:

• calcium
• magnesium
• iron
• potassium
• zinc
• folate
• niacin
• Vitamins A, B6, C, K and traces of other essential vitamins
• thiamine
• riboflavin

Spinach is also low in calories but high in fiber, which helps to keep you feeling full.

The phytochemicals and antioxidants in spinach can help to protect eyes from harmful UV rays and reduce free radicals.

Spinach is fabulous for the liver in that it stimulates the production of glycogen which your body uses for energy.

Those taking medication to thin the blood are advised to limit the intake of leafy greens due to the Vitamin K. If you take an anticoagulant medication, please check with your doctor.

Spinach is also excellent for helping the body to reduce inflammation. It has an anticancer effect and also protects the skin from harmful UV rays.

Hopefully, this is enough to convince you to get more spinach in your diet!

If you're making this spinach side dish to go with a protein, such as a steak, you can use the same pan. No need to wipe the pan between uses, just add the spinach directly.

Pair with your favorite protein, such as:

• Sugar and Spice Salmon
• Keto copycat shake and bake buffalo chicken
• Maple Glazed Powerhouse Salmon Recipe
• Caribbean Chicken Recipe
• Best Roasted Chicken Ever Recipe
• Blackberry Balsamic Glazed Boston Butt
