Delicious Breakfast

Do you ever eat salad for breakfast, and if so, what do you top it with? Tips for Breakfast Salad: Put an egg on it: Doesn’t an egg inherently make pretty much anything breakfast food? I think that’s a rule. I’ve been enjoying a soft boiled egg over a well dressed bed of kale. Add in some satiating fats: Avocado, goat cheese, etc. These things not only taste delicious, but they help wake up your brain and keep you full until lunch.
Change up your greens: There’s more than just romaine or spring mix when it comes to salad greens. Change it up. My favorites are spinach, arugula, kale and shredded brussels sprouts. Or heck, make it a combo. Mix and match. You’ll end up with a more nutrient-dense plate that way. Don’t ignore your leftovers: What did you have for dinner last night? Do you have any grilled or roasted veggies begging to be thrown into the mix? Grilled chicken? Slice them up, throw them in, let things get awesome. Everyone loves a little crunch: I love a salad that has some great texture. A little crunch from some nuts or seeds go a long way. Shredded carrots or shredded broccoli stems also add a little crunch and pizzaz.
Alternatively, you can stuff your greens into a pita, too. There's nothing wrong in eating one for breakfast!!!
