There’s one item you could be adding to multiple weeknight meals to give them an easy nutritional boost. Getting your greens in might not always seem easy but this vegetable will blend into any meal seamlessly.

From pasta to pizza or risotto, this healthy item can be incorporated into your lunches or dinners and you'll barely even notice it's there. It’s a versatile vegetable that won’t overpower your meal meaning you’ll be able to bump up your greens without making it too obvious if you’re not the biggest fan of veggies.

Healthline says: “Spinach is a leafy green vegetable known for its mild flavor and impressive nutrient profile.

“In fact, raw spinach packs a good amount of fiber, vitamin C, iron, and calcium into each serving.

“It’s also incredibly versatile — you can mix it into tomato sauce, add it to pasta salad, or use it to brighten up cream-based sauces.”

Not only this but Eating Well says spinach is a top choice for many due to its tender texture, mild flavor and impressive health benefits.

Spinach belongs to the Chenopodiaceae family (also known as goosefoot), which includes beetroot, chard and quinoa, says BBC Good Food.

It shares a similar taste profile with these vegetables – the bitterness of beet greens and the slightly salty flavour of chard.

There’s plenty of ways you can add this superfood to your diet, you just have to get creative.

For example, you can add spinach to homemade burgers or even add it to sandwiches in place of lettuce.

Not only this but you can add spinach to spaghetti sauce which adds flavour and texture to the sauce.

All you need to do is add it right at the end and let it cook, you’ll barely even notice it's in there. Spinach is a vegetable you might be missing out on but it's one that you can easily begin to introduce into your meals.
