How Do You Add Veggies to Your Meals?
One of the best habits you can develop is adding vegetables to every meal—including breakfast! And no, breakfast doesn’t have to be the usual eggs, toast, or oatmeal. The word breakfast simply means you’re breaking a 7-8 hour fasting window from sleep (hopefully, you’re getting at least that much rest!).
Oh, and just a little reminder—coffee with creamer (and probably sugar) isn’t breakfast. It can actually suppress your hunger signals, which might lead to grabbing something high in calories, fat, and unrefined carbs later on.
Now, back to veggies! I often eat eggs for breakfast and love adding diced bell peppers, garlic, onion, or whatever veggies I have on hand. Today, I threw in some turkey sausage crumbles and a sprinkle of cheese, plus a slice of toast with peanut butter for healthy fats.
Looking for creative ways to add more veggies to your breakfast? Try these ideas:
1. Low-sodium V8 – A quick and easy way to drink your veggies.
2. Celery & baby carrots – Simple, crunchy, and ready to go.
3. Smoothie boost – Add spinach, kale, or frozen cauliflower for extra nutrients.
4. Breakfast salad – Who says salad is just for lunch? Load it up with eggs, avocado, and your favorite veggies.
5. Powdered veggie mix – Stir it into water or a smoothie for an easy nutrient boost.
