  1. I do not have fresh spinach. Will frozen spinach work? If so, would I still need 160z of frozen spinach? Thank you. Your recipes are delicious & such a time saver for our family.

    1. Thanks, Angel! I think that it would be fine to use frozen spinach. Just make sure that you squeeze most of the water out of it. I would start with 8 ounces of frozen spinach and see what kind of consistency you get– you should be able to easily form a ball with the mixture. Hope this helps!

    1. Pamela– I’m sorry you had trouble with these. The spinach has to be mixed for quite awhile before it breaks down and becomes sticky.

  4. Just in case any other vegetarians are unaware parmesan is a non-vegetarian cheese and you may have to substitute something else in.

  5. I made these with frozen spinach (thawed and squished to drain) and used my stand mixer to combine everything while I worked on some other recipes. Then used my cookie scoop to make the balls. The ones we ate fresh were enjoyed by the adults but kids didn’t care for them. I even went so far as to whip up a dip using italian seasoning and sour cream. It’s looking like I’ll be eating them for lunch. I have successfully reheated from frozen and via toaster oven so they do in fact make an easy quick lunch, too.
