    As a slight alteration, for somewhat of a bigger portion (sidedish wise), you can do it as follows:
    Steam the spinach. You can use the microwave for fastest results (or whatever steaming method you prefer). Combine with half of the butter and a small dash of lemon juice.
    You can also discard the bell pepper and use a bit more spinach leaves. Red bell pepper contains 4x more carbs than spinach. 1/4 of a medium bell pepper equals roughly 30g.
