Breakfast Puzzle

A salad at lunch, or vegetables steamed with dinner, it’s relatively easy to plan vegetables into meals or a snack later in the day, but what about breakfast? Most people don’t get excited at the idea of oatmeal with carrots! A veggie omelet may come to mind as the easiest solution.

SOME POPULAR COMBINATIONS ARE: Greek Style: spinach, mushroom and feta Western: ham, onions and green pepper Garden: red bell pepper, sliced zucchini, broccoli and spinach.

THERE ARE ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES FOR ADDING VEGETABLES AND EGGS, BUT WHAT ABOUT OTHER IDEAS?

  • Blend it...add cucumber, spinach, kale or celery to fruit smoothies.
  • Mix it...shred carrots or zucchini into pancakes and muffin mixes.
  • Spread it...top your toast with creamy avocado and a tomato.

It’s okay to eat foods that aren’t traditionally considered on the morning breakfast menu. Get creative and solve the veggies with breakfast puzzle your way.
