Frozen Spinach Cubes

Do you have a lot of spinach left in the fridge but don’t think you can finish it before it starts to rot? I often buy spinach packs at Costco because they’re such a great deal, but as a household of two, it’s challenging to use them up in time. When I know I won’t be able to finish the spinach in time, I like to turn it into frozen spinach cubes. These cubes are great for adding to smoothies for an extra nutrient boost.

Spinach Benefits

• Packed with folate, which promotes cell growth and supports white blood cell production to help the body fight infections.
• High in vitamins A, K, and C.
• Contains iron, which supports oxygen transport in the body.
• Rich in fiber, aiding digestion.

Frozen Spinach Cubes Ingredients

• Fresh spinach
• Water or coconut water
• Ice cube tray or silicone mold

Instructions

To a blender, fill it up with spinach leaves. Depending on your spinach portion, your liquid ratio will vary. Try add a little bit of a time until it is fully blended.

Pour the blended spinach mixture into an ice cube tray or silicone mold.

Freeze until solid.

When ready to use, pop out the cubes and add them to your favorite fruit smoothies for an easy nutrient boost!

Frozen Spinach Cube Tips

• Do not use wilted or slimy spinach, as it will affect the flavor of your cubes.
• Avoid adding too much liquid, or the cubes may become too watery. For a fun twist, try using different-shaped ice molds!
• Use a silicone ice mold for easy removal.
• These spinach cubes aren’t just for fruit smoothies. You can also add them to soups and sauces. The possibilities are limitless!
