Despite how much I actually enjoy spinach, I'm horribly iron-deficient so I'm always looking for more ways to add iron-rich foods like spinach into my diet. This seems like an awesome way and there aren't a ton of fillers to mask the spinach taste. http://aneducationindomestication.com

These are too cute! I've been eating a lot of spinach recently, this would be a fun new way to try it (plus I think my husband would actually eat these, too! He won't touch salad...)
