Breakfast with veggies

I've been making this crustless quiche with frozen mixed vegetables as a meal prep. It is so easy and really delicious. I added a sauteed onion because I love them in everything. I usually sub plain Greek yogurt for sour cream. She advised against this, and I'm glad I listened. I think the sour cream is is secret to the dish.

you could make a breakfast casserole (crustless quiche) and add in veg. or omelet type things. I keep meaning to make a baking tray of eggs mixed with peppers and such but haven't gotten around to it.

you can also add in fruit with whatever else you have

I slow cook whole cubed butternut squash with raisins, 6T orange juice, honey, cinnamon, and 1T butter shavings. There's enough for the whole week - or I can freeze it in individual portions. I eat about 7 oz. warmed in a bowl and topped with 3oz. Greek yogurt: ~350 calories. Feels like eating dessert for breakfast and quells my sweet cravings.

I would have my crustless pumpkin pie= pumpkin,stevia,nonfat evaporated milk, 2 eggs, cinnamon. I cut that into 4 servings

I love Shaksuka. For the sake of time on weekdays I'll cook up a batch of the tomato base to stick in the fridge, reheat and just cook an egg to stick on top.

Where have I been?! I'd never heard of shaksuka. Looked up the recipe and will surely be adding that to my menu.
Thank you!

I'm not a big vegetable at breakfast person either, unless it's an occasional omelet or egg scramble with veggies. However, I drink some kind of fruit and/or veggie smoothie almost every day. There are lots of great recipes with spinach or kale, various fruit and some kind of protein (either greek yogurt or protein powder). Don't know if you're into smoothies or not, but it's an easy way to get in 1-2 servings of greens. Spinach is a good place to start, because it doesn't have a lot of taste.

Here are couple of easy ones:
1 cup spinach, 1 cup greek yogurt, 1 banana (preferably frozen), 10-15 grapes (or 1-2 honey), and a bit of milk.
1 cup spinach, 1 banana, 1 scoop vanilla protein powder of your choice, 1 T peanut butter, and enough liquid (about 1/2-1 cup) to blend.

Thanks all. I already disrupted my veggies at every meal rule but I’m trying. I took AnnPT77 advice and switched to fruit or veggies at every meal from just veggies. This opens up a few good things I do with Greek yogurt and frozen berries and berry protein pancakes.

I still haven’t tried the shasuka or savory oatmeal(never thought of savory here) but I plan on it.

I aim for some sort of produce at every meal, so fruit or vegetables. Breakfast will often be fruit on the side of something else. It's just easier. Right now I am doing an egg sandwich with avocado and a banana on the side. But I also don't kick myself if I just want some scrambled eggs with toast because I am tired and don't feel great. Things will balance out in the end.

Other options I do for breakfast are:

Egg scrambles with veggies
Omelets with veggies (this and the scramble are usually peppers, onions, mushrooms, or greens)
A veggie heavy potato hash (peppers and onions obviously, but brussel sprouts, asparagus, greens, and zucchini are good fillers too)
Tomato and avocado on a breakfast sandwich
Avocado toast with egg and sometimes tomato
Grilled tomatoes on the side of eggs
Sauteed mushrooms on the side of eggs

I often will have leftover roasted or sauteed veggies from dinner (I am solo and always make too much lol). Sometimes I literally just heat those up and eat them on the side. Asparagus is great like this.

In the summer I do smoothies or yogurt bowls more often. That's more fruit based, but still falls under my "rule". I do add spinach to my smoothies along with fruit.
Oatmeal with various fruit such as berries, pumpkin, apples, or banana.

I make my mom an omelette with veggies. I do a quick stir fry of spinach, green peppers, and onions first and set aside. Then I do the omelette and add the veggies in with the cheese. I also add ham and crumbled bacon to add extra protein and make it more filling.
