Did you know that 90% of us do not get enough vegetables every day?
According to the USDA, most of us need between 2 and 4 cups a day. But the truth is, most people do not sit down to eat a big bowl of veggies every day. They 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 is a pain-free way to get more of them into your diet.
Consider this your reminder that it is time to start!
6 Easy Ways to Add Veggies to Your Breakfast
- Stir spinach or any other green into your eggs -- or blend them into a smoothie
- Shred zucchini or carrots into overnight oats or chia pudding
- Make a big batch of veggie hash ahead of time, heat it up, and add a poached egg on top
- Add cauliflower or beets to a smoothie
- Top your avocado toast with some salsa (yes, salsa counts!)
- Make a grain bowl with leftover quinoa or rice and stir in some spinach and goat cheese while you heat it up
Your assignment: Sneak some veggies into your breakfast a couple of days this next week!
