Veggies at breakfast?
Any ideas how to incorporate veggies into breakfast, other than an omlette?
I want to start eating healthier and more veggies is certainly the way to go, but I have no idea how to do it at breakfast other than omlettes and tomato juice.
Re: Veggies at breakfast?
I'm still only thinking eggs--but what about an egg on an english muffin with avocado slices and morning star fake bacon?
That might sound gross though. I happen to love avocado on anything and the Morning Star "striples" are awesome and very healthy. GL!
There's the cookbook that Jerry Seinfeld's wife wrote - Deceptively Delicious that hides veggies in foods. I think she had a recipe for sweet potato pancakes. Good for you! We should all get on the veggie wagon!
This might be a little extreme for you, but what about adding a small green monster to your breakfast?
There are a ton of variations, but it's basically green veggies (spinach, kale, whatever) with fruits to make it taste better, a little milk, etc.
It's a bright green health smoothie. You can google it
Avocados sound like a winner.
I have to admit I'm afraid of pretend meat, so almost anything Morningstar Farms is out for me.
And now I'm off to Google a small green monster...
OK, back from Google, and this is what I found...
Green Monster Smoothie
1 cup milk
1 cup raw spinach
1 frozen banana
1 tbsp peanut butter
(optional: 1 tbsp flax seed meal, protein powder)
Blend all in a blender. Drink up!
Unfortunately I don't have a lot of spinach on hand, so I will not be able to try this just yet. But I am intrigued.
Next time you go to the store, get some kale to add to that, too! You can't taste it in a smoothie and it's so so good for you. I've been doing it a ton with spinach and kale for Amelia with all of the fresh fruits and veggies out right now and she loves them!
Another idea - I sometimes just do lunch-type foods at breakfast. Wraps and sandwiches are an easy way to add lots of veggies - different lettuces, tomato, onion, cucumber, avocado, sprouts - the list is endless. You can just go veggie or add them to some turkey or cheese on all kinds of wraps, bread, etc.
I just add lots of veggies to my eggs.
You could do a quiche or fritatta instead of an omelette for something different.
