Creamed spinach is the perfect low-carb side to go with pork chops, roast chicken or fish. This recipe is one of my favourite sides. I even included it as part of a complete meal in my upcoming Beginner's KetoDiet Cookbook that will be out in April 2018 and is available to preorder!

Spinach is not just low in carbs — it's one of the most nutrient-dense keto foods you can have. It's a great source of vital nutrients such as magnesium, potassium and vitamin A. Also, spinach contains compounds that induce satiety and suppress hunger so you will feel full for longer. Both taste wise and diet wise, this side is a win-win.

Can I Use Frozen Spinach?

Yes, you can swap fresh spinach for frozen spinach! Simply let the spinach thaw and make sure to drain any excess water. Skip the blanching and follow the recipe from step 3.

Martina Slajerova Creator of KetoDietApp.com I changed the way I ate in 2011, when I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s, an autoimmune disease that affects the thyroid. I had no energy, and I found it more and more difficult to maintain a healthy weight. That’s when I decided to quit sugar, grains, and processed foods, and to start following a whole-foods-based ketogenic approach to food. More posts by Martina Slajerova Martina Slajerova
