Coconut Creamed Mushrooms + Spinach for a Delicious Side Dish!

{NEW} Coconut Creamed Mushrooms + Spinach 

I was going to tagline this “not yo Grammas creamed spinach” then I thought/remembered…geez…Grammas stuff is always THE BEST ever…no contest there.

This is THAT as far as flavor goes, but most likely a bit healthier than Grams because we used our favorite CFC modifications.

EXCELLENT Clean Eating holiday side dish idea.

Can’t wait to hear how you like this one!

Did you know:

Mushrooms have cancer-fighting properties. Mushrooms are immunity-boosters, they can help lower cholesterol, they’re high in B and D vitamins, and can help relieve inflammation.

To take advantage of all the available health benefits of mushrooms, you really should cook your mushrooms.

Here’s why:

“The cell walls of mushrooms are tough, making it difficult for the digestive system to get to all the nutrients inside them.

Mushrooms often contain chemical compounds that can interfere with digestion and nutrient absorption.

Sufficient cooking breaks down the tough cell walls, inactivates the anti-digestive elements and destroys many toxins,” according to WebMD.
