Breakfast salad with juice

This easy peasy breakfast salad is a great way to start your day with a dose of some leafy greens (nutrients and fiver), healthy fat and protein. This digestion friendly breakfast is satiating and satisfying. A nice way to start the day off on the right foot. Don't get to caught up in the recipe, as this is a throw together dish that will most likely look different every time. Somedays I like my egg on top of the greens other days I like it on the side. Sometimes I add green chile, while other times I load up on olives. Let your mood (and refrigerator) decide for you.

If you are concerned that it may not be "hearty" enough for you, try adding one of our warming elixirs to drink with your meal. We recommend our Blender Matcha Latte, Golden Turmeric Milk or a chocolatey Coffeeless Mushroom Maca Mocha to complement your salad.

Adding fresh greens to your morning routine is a great way to avoid over-consuming refined carbs and sweets for breakfast. If you feel like you still want a little something sweet, no one is stopping you. Add some fresh berries, sliced kiwi or grapefruit on the side to quench that sweet tooth with low glycemic options. Bon appétit!

Pro Tips

Prep: Wash and rinse your greens the night before, so they’re ready to use first thing in the morning. If you’re going the hardboiled egg route, you could pre-boil those a few days in advance to set yourself up for the week.

Mix It Up: Add whatever veggies you enjoy (sautéed tomato, cucumber, leftover roast sweet potato, shredded carrot, olives, etc.).

No Mixed Greens: Use spinach, kale or romaine instead. Don't box yourself in!

No Egg: Use any source of protein that appeals to you. Leftover salmon, veggie burger, hemp seeds or quinoa.
