They have these spinach roll-ups that are full of a bunch of different veggies, cheese, and of course spinach! So today, I’ll be giving Zoe’s Kitchen spinach roll ups recipe a try!

And there you have it! There’s something about the combination of spinach and cheese that just does it for me. Plus, I’m always looking for the chance of adding spinach to our food and making it taste good! 

I love eating from Zoe’s kitchen and I especially love how creative they are when it comes to incorporating veggies in their dishes. It’s super versatile and of course, tastes pretty good if done right. 

Ever since I have started my clean-eating/healthy eating journey, one thing I have realized is that there are so many different ways you can eat vegetables (which you should totally do every day!). Yes, salads are great and you can get creative with them. But you can only do so to a certain extent.

Why You Should Incorporate More Veggies Into Your Diet

I’m always talking about adding more vegetables to my diet and how that’s good for the body. But do you ever wonder why eating more vegetables is good for you? Here’s why:

  1. They’re a natural source of vitamins and minerals. People are always talking about how you should be taking one supplement or the other to combat nutrient deficiencies. In truth, you don’t need to be taking extra supplements if you eat a good amount of vegetables every day.
  2. They’re pretty versatile when it comes to adding flavor and texture to your meals. I personally love the crunch from iceberg lettuce and the sublime texture from mushrooms in my meals. It’s all about how well you cook it.
  3. They help you keep your calorie intake in check! Most vegetables have a low-calorie count so you can eat more of it and still keep your calorie intake within healthy limits!
  4. They’re a great source of fiber. Fiber might not be nutritionally beneficial but it’s super important for a healthy gut. Having a good amount of fiber daily prevents issues like constipation.
  5. Fruits and vegetables are a source of phytochemicals, they are substances that can protect our bodies against certain diseases. They can also help strengthen our immune system.

I love having these at the restaurant, but of course, my wallet doesn’t agree with the obsession. So I knew I had to come up with a recipe that’s close to, if not exactly similar to the ones at Zoe’s kitchen. You can add chicken to make it more wholesome but you can skip it if you’re making a vegetarian version. Took us a while but here we go!

So this was my take on the Spinach Roll-Ups from Zoe’s kitchen. Do give it a try and let us know how it went! Enjoy!
