Sauteed Garlic Spinach

This garlicky and a bit spicy spinach dish is an easy quickie and only calls for a few ingredients.  Spinach is a very versatile green that is high in vitamins A and C; it also contains a substantial amount of magnesium.  Try pairing this dish with our spiced whipped yams.  This recipe is vegan, gluten-free, paleo-friendly and ideal for meal prep.
