One cup of cooked spinach has 40 calories.
Spinach is your best bet for folic acid, which helps keep cells all over the body growing and functioning well.
And it's an incredible nonanimal protein source of iron, which delivers oxygen all over the body, providing much-needed energy to kids' muscles.
Spinach also helps regulate blood sugar and keeps your children's hearts healthy because it's high in potassium and magnesium.
You can hide spinach in my recipes for Chicken Nuggets, Brownies and Blueberry Oatmeal Bars.
