Have you tried eating your veggies for breakfast? I don’t mean hash browns or green smoothies, I am suggesting a big bowl of steamy pan fried or oven roasted veggies. I love a savory breakfast, and I am fond of warming up my green smoothie or adding kale and beans to my oatmeal. Eating your veggies at breakfast ensures that you are consuming your veggies each day as you fill up with fiber and nutrients. My current favorite veggie bowl is made with greens, onions, brussel sprouts, mushrooms, and a Turkish spice usually used for BBQ, Shish Tavuk. You can prep your veggies the night before if you work early and have to rush out the door. You could also put these veggies in a wrap as a tasty veggie breakfast burrito!
