Nutritive Awareness - Veggies for Breakfast Recipes - by Pamela Hunter

I believe in looking at your lifestyle choices and making sense out of them.  I also believe in bringing awareness to our daily nutrition.  I call this Nutritive Awareness.   I believe we must consciously feed nourishment to our bodies in many forms.  Through observation it is rare to see people eat veggies at breakfast.  Through experience, it is a challenging shift to begin loving your veggies at breakfast.

Why should we care about veggies at breakfast?

1.     Veggies jump starts your day with nutrients – much needed vitamins and minerals – it’s a day changer!

2.     Many veggies are packed with proteins and good carbs to give you tons of energy!

3.     Veggies are brain food!

4.     You Get a head start to the many servings of veggies needed in the day for overall wellness.

 Here are a few of my favorite recipes for Veggies at Breakfast!

Veggie Egg Scramble

Preparations:  Chop all the veggies accept the Spinach.  Place all but the spinach in a skillet to saute in a bit of butter until they are just soft.  Add in the Spinach and stir to let it wilt a bit.  Just when it seems to be shrinking, add in the amount of mixed eggs your desire and scramble on medium heat.  Sea Salt and Pepper to taste.
