Ingredients
- 8 cups fresh spinach
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 3 units garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt

Directions
Step 1
Wash and thoroughly dry the fresh spinach. Set aside.
Step 2
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until fragrant.

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the spinach to the skillet in batches, stirring frequently. Add more spinach as it wilts down to make room.
Step 6
Once all the spinach has wilted (about 2-3 minutes), pour in the coconut aminos and stir well to evenly coat the spinach.
Step 7
Season with sea salt and cracked black pepper to taste. Stir briefly to combine.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the spinach with fresh lemon juice for a bright, zesty finish.
