Pasta and Breads

• Spinach powder is used commercially to make spinach pasta and to add flavor to herb breads. You can use spinach powder in the same way at home. Experiment by adding spinach powder to savory breads and muffins or to homemade pasta. For a mild spinach flavor, mix 1 teaspoons of spinach powder into every cup of flour called for in the recipe.

Juice and Smoothies

• Spinach powder gives an easy nutritional boost to both commercial and homemade smoothie and juice recipes. Start with 1 teaspoon mixed vigorously into a glass of juice or blended into a smoothie and increase the amount to suit your taste buds. Try spinach powder in both sweet and savory juice mixtures.

Entrees and Vegetable Dishes

• Try adding 1 tablespoon of spinach powder to casseroles and main dishes. Stir it in during the last few minutes of cooking for stir-fries and any vegetable dish. Add it at any time when making soups and casseroles. Consider adding a dash of spinach powder to rice dishes, along with other savory herbs.

Tomato Dishes

• Tomato sauces respond well to the addition to spinach powder. The flavors meld well, and the spinach adds a little extra nutrition to the dish. Use spinach powder in spaghetti and pasta sauces, tomato juices and other tomato dishes. Consider adding 1 tablespoon of spinach powder to tomato dishes whenever you add basil or other savory herbs.

Dips and Salad Dressings

• Any savory salad dressing or dip can benefit from a boost of color, flavor and nutrition. Start with vegetable dips, ranch dips and green dips, and then experiment with adding spinach powder to other dip and dressing recipes. Add 1 teaspoon of spinach powder along with the other herbs.
