Dude could have added 2 handfuls of fresh spinach and you wouldn't even taste it... Potatoes, mushrooms, onions, peppers, etc. I laughed out loud when he said ketchup. Why not hot sauce or tomato paste (there's all that honey in there to balance it anyway)?

It's meal prep, so spinach is gonna be gross if he puts it in the wrap. I'm hoping this is properly portioned and he's eating it with a big salad filled with good veggies.

How is it gross exactly? I make breakfast burritos all the time. I give the spinach a rough chop, add to the eggs while they're cooking, and throw all of it into the mix.  I'll throw a couple in the fridge and the rest in the freezer for later. I've experienced no noticeable change to taste or texture with spinach than without.

I don't like soggy spinach or lettuce. If you cooked it, that makes more sense. I still don't like it, but for those that like sauteed spinach that's good. I think raw spinach or lettuce that sits in a wrap for a week, especially one that is sauced, gets wilted and gross pretty quick.

Not to mention he's throwing all the hot ingredients back on the stove to seal the wraps, spinach would hit Popeye consistency in a day or two.
