Breakfast Veggies?

I eat sauteed asparagus in the morning with a serving of cottage cheese.
Also, I love beets and cottage cheese, with some Heart Smart Crackers
by Kashi.
Another thing I enjoy is sauteed zuchinni, mushrooms, onions and peppers on
a low carb multi-grain wrap (ie. Tumaros) with some parmesan cheese.
A toasted 100 calorie whole grain light english muffin (Thomas) with sauteed
zuchinni and low sodium lacey swiss cheese is really good too.
All of these are good forms of protein, have fiber, are low in sugar and will keep
you satisfied for hours.0 -
I second the savory oatmeal and veggies in runny eggs suggestions!
There's tons of recipes for savory oatmeal - where you treat it more like polenta than the breakfast stuff. You can add in mushrooms, spinach, tomatoes - anything. A bit of light parmesan - so tasty!
We also like to make poached eggs to dip asparagus or zucchini in. We put bell jar canning rings in the bottom of the poaching pan and pour the eggs into the rings; use a spatula to make sure the egg doesn't stick to the ring - perfect poached eggs every time0 -
I like to do different version of home fries/hash
saute (just a few sprays of cooking oil will do then add a bit of veg stock) diced sweet potato with peppers, red onion, and greens (spinach, kale, collards)
Or you can do the same thing with a white potato, but the sweet potato adds that "breakfast" sweet taste I feel you may be looking for.
Also, the smoothie idea is a great one that I do often.
Breakfast burrito (black beans, peppers, onions, tomato, greens)
Try more of an egg scramble rather than an omelet and see if that is more pleasing to you.
You could stuff a baked sweet potato (from the night before) with black beans and kale DELICIOUS
Wraps and breakfast sandwiches are great options stuff them with your fave sauteed veggies
Grits cooked in veg stock with sauteed veggies stirred into them.
The best advice I can give is don't be afraid to experiment and be sure to use seasoning!! I have a tendency to like my dishes on the spicy side for breakfast. It wakes up my palate. Kind of the opposite of using a load of sugar (syrup, etc) in the morning.
Happy cooking.:flowerforyou:0 -

I agree with the breakfast burrito. I like to include a tofu scramble (husband likes egg scramble) in there to make it a little more breakfasty.
I tend to make my quick breakfasts on the mexican side.
Beans and rice with salsa is super quick if you have leftover rice.
Breakfast fajitas with leftover stir-fry and seitan or other protein option
Quesadillas (husbands favorite) packed with beans, rice, veg and cheese (omit cheese for me).
At work we make an egg bake- eggs, mushrooms, spinach, onion, and seasoned to taste. Pour into appropriate pan (so it is about 1/2" thick and bake for 10-15 minutes. You can cut it into smaller squares and keep in the fridge about a week. They make excellent sandwiches with bagels or just a quick side to enjoy.0 -
Oh and I just came across this recipe. I realize this isn't healthy, but maybe you could turn it into a mini quiche or frittata with a ton more veggies. They would be easy to freeze and heat.
