Spinach is very high in available iron which is very important to supplement for anyone who lacks energy or struggles with weight loss.

If you lack iron you have a hard time carrying oxygen to the mitochondria of you cell, which is where you burn fat…

SO, if you are low in iron, fat burning is hard to accomplish.

That’s why I love this recipe from my friend Maria Emmerich. If you love spinach artichoke dip, you have to try this fabulous recipe- and as a bonus it’s a super tasty way to get in your iron….
