Whenever I’m working with a client and I suggest adding veggies to their breakfast routine, many of them give puzzled looks. Why not jumpstart the day with getting veggies into your daily routine! Many of us struggle with eating enough antioxidant & nutrient-rich veggies throughout the day, so instead of cramming it all in at dinner, add a serving to your breakfast!
How can you do this??
Here are a few breakfast veggie ideas:
- Toss some spinach, cauliflower, or kale into a smoothie.
- Add chopped veggies to an egg scramble or omelet.
- Or…try this delicious Zucchini Bread Oatmeal.
You can swap out the zucchini with grated carrots instead for a “Carrot Cake” oatmeal too. The possibilities are endless!
