  • 7 oz Greek yogurt198 g
  • 2 cups spinach60 g

Why it works

Two cups of spinach cost 14 calories and bring 242% of the day's vitamin K.

If you take warfarin, MedlinePlus says to keep the amount of leafy greens like spinach steady from day to day and week to week. Talk to your provider before a big change.
