Veggie Stuffed Omelet🍅🌱
It’s estimated that 90% of us don’t get enough vegetables every day?
90%! Pretty shocking, right?
According to the USDA, most of us need between 2 and 4 cups a day.
But the truth is, most people don’t sit down to eat a big bowl of veggies every day.
Veggies usually end up as an afterthought in a side dish.
This is why sneaking veggies into your meals (including BREAKFAST) is such a great idea!
It’s an easy way to get more of them into your diet.
I know this tip might fall into the category “I know this but I don’t do it very often.”
Consider this your reminder that it’s time to START! 🙂
I have some ideas to get you going.
6 Easy Ways to Add Veggies to Your Breakfast
1. Stir spinach, kale, peas, zucchini, onions, asparagus, mushrooms, broccoli, peppers or any other green into your eggs – think: veggie omelets like this one, scrambles, or baked vegetable quiche/casserole.
2. Shred zucchini or carrots into overnight oats or chia pudding – or stir them into your oats while they cook (surprisingly yum!)
3. Make a big batch of veggie hash (basically sauté a bunch of veggies together) ahead of time, and when it’s time to eat, heat it up and add a poached egg on top.
4. Add frozen cauliflower, frozen beets, frozen kale, or frozen spinach to your smoothies.
5. Top your avocado toast with freshly snipped herbs & micro greens (yes, fresh herbs & micro greens count!).
6. Make a grain bowl with leftover quinoa or rice and stir in some spinach and feta/goat cheese while you heat it up.
This will keep you feeling full for hours!
