10 Veggie-Filled Breakfasts for a Healthy Way to Start Your Day — Recipes from The Kitchn
Eating vegetables for breakfast makes me feel like I really started the day on the right foot — and it's actually easier than you might think to work veggies into the first meal of the day. No matter what produce you have on hand, there's a recipe for you. From make-ahead egg bakes and vegan chickpea pitas, to smoothies and a salad made for the morning, here are 10 veggie-packed breakfasts to add to your meal plan.
This mix of baby spinach, creamy avocado, quinoa, blueberries, eggs, and crispy bacon is what made me a believer in the breakfast salad. It's both refreshing and a little bit indulgent, and I know it will keep me full all morning.
Keep a veggie frittata on regular rotation in your breakfast lineup and you won't be sorry. Throw it together with any veggies you have hanging out in the fridge. If you don't have time to cook in the morning, it can also be made the night before; it's just as tasty cold as it is warm.
Grab a can of beans from the pantry and whatever greens you have in the fridge, and you're in for a wholesome, flavor-packed hash made more filling with a runny-yolked egg.
Want to make this breakfast come together even faster? Start with those convenient packs of pre-cut veggies from the grocery store! This egg bake also lasts for up to five days in the fridge, which means one cooking session equals breakfast all week long.
There's a good chance you will find these chickpea and veggie pitas in my freezer at all times. This big-batch recipe asks for some work upfront, then rewards you with a totally nourishing breakfast for up to two weeks.
If your goal is to work veggies into breakfast in the quickest, easiest way possible, you can never go wrong with a smoothie. The secret ingredient that makes this sunny smoothie even creamier and gives you a dose a veggies first thing in the morning? Cauliflower!
These breakfast sweet potatoes are just one reason I bake a big batch of sweet potatoes before heading into the week. Reheat them if you like, then split them open and they're a blank canvas to be filled with toppings like yogurt, granola, fresh fruit, or eggs.
This recipe is a great way to liven up your breakfast routine with something savory and packed with veggies. Make the quinoa and dressing, boil a couple eggs, and prep the veggies in advance so all that's left to do in the morning is assemble the bowls.
On mornings when you have a little extra time, this is a total treat. Traditionally made with chunky, spiced tomato sauce, this version of shakshuka starts with sautéed dark leafy greens before it's studded with feta and topped with eggs.
This is a great smoothie recipe to keep in your back pocket for those mornings you have a serious craving for all the green things. Start with coconut water or any type of milk, then add plenty of kale, collards, chard, or spinach — or any combination of greens.
