5 Simple Ways To Start Your Day With Greens


They say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so make sure you get started off right! We’ve found 5 different ways that you can start the day off with a green, mean, and lean meal! Put down the breakfast burrito and check out these options below.



1. The classic green smoothie.

Blending is one of the easiest ways to integrate vegetables into your breakfast. My favorite smoothie is fresh baby kale (milder flavor), pineapple, strawberries, banana and coconut milk. Pineapple is a great balance for the stronger flavor of kale.

2. Prep and scramble.

If you prepare a large batch of your favorite veggies at the beginning of the week, you can easily make egg or tofu scrambles on weekday mornings. I love the combination of mushrooms, onions and greens.

3. Frittata.

Make a big frittata at the beginning of the week and refrigerate it in portions for your busy work mornings. My favorite recipe involves kale and sweet potatoes. I just warm my portion in the oven while I get ready for the day.

4. Green juice.

Add a green juice to your routine! Whether you juice for the whole week on Sundays or grab one on the go from your favorite bar, make a point of downing one daily.

5. Two words: avocado toast.

Toast your favorite whole grain or gluten-free bread, mash avocado on it, add arugula and garnish with salt, pepper and olive oil – fantastic breakfast in five minutes flat. Add a green juice on the side for extra points.
