Healthy, because
Spinach contains vitamins C, E, and A, which reliably intercept cell-damaging free radicals. Due to its richness in folic acid and iron, it is particularly good for pregnant and breastfeeding women, and the soy cream provides additional protein.
Even smarter
You can also use fresh leaf spinach for the dish. This is a bit more work, because it has to be washed very thoroughly several times.
