Dinner In 5 Min: Healthy Spinach

One big 'Hi' to all the health-nuggets out there!

Yesterday I was working late and once I got home I was completely starving (+ my belly was making strange, roaring sounds). Desperate times like these call for an immediate dinner quick-fix that would ideally take under 5 minutes. This is what I made last night - it was yummy, filling and, most importantly, very easy to prepare.

Keep these staple items in your fridge at all times and you will have a healthy (<500 kcal) dinner option every time!


What you will need:


  • a (~400g) pack of frozen (pureed) spinach
  • 1 or 2 eggs
  • low-fat mozzarella
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • salt & pepper
  • cherry tomatoes (optional)


What you will do:

(1) spray some olive oil on your pan and warm it up

(2) add the frozen spinach and cook on low heat until all ice is gone

(3) add 1 or 2 eggs and keep stirring for a few minutes until the eggs are cooked

(4) in the end add some halved cherry tomatoes and a pack of light mozzarella cheese and cook it for a minute or two

(5) sprinkle with some sea salt, pepper and herbs of your choice and your dinner is ready!

P.S. You can mix & match the ingredients however you like - add mushrooms, paprika, courgette, feta, shrimps, tofu, chicken breasts... the options are endless! Also, try baking it!
