Anyone else watch Popeye the Sailor Man and wonder why he ate(well I guess he drank it straight out of the can) so much spinach? Its because spinach is the all mighty leafy green that is full of nutrients to keep us strong and healthy!

Top it with bonito flakes, ground sesame seeds, or nori! I hope you enjoy! Recipe(serves 2)1 bunch organic spinach*2 tablespoons sea saltbonito flakes as toppingsoy sauce as sauce*always buy spinach organic.
