Veggies in the morning Julie Cascio, University of Alaska Fairbanks, Cooperative Extension Service Including vegetables in morning meals will help you get the most nutrition out of your mornings. https://fruitsandveggies.org/ 4 Veggie-Filled Breakfast Ideas 1. Eggs. Whether scrambled or hardboiled, there is always room for vegetables when eggs are on the menu. When scrambling eggs, try tossing some frozen veggies in the pan before adding your eggs; this is a simple way to add nutrition without requiring a lot of preparation time.

A good way to add veggies to a hardboiled egg is to make a quick egg salad.

Combining chopped, hardboiled egg with a little bit of guacamole, mustard, and diced bell peppers and tomatoes gives a nutritious yummy. Enjoy alone or on a piece of toast.

2. Smoothies. Smoothies are a fabulous way to get in a serving or two of vegetables first thing in the morning without spending a lot of time cooking.

Choosing mild vegetables that won’t

GreatLander Mat-Su

dominate the flavor profile is the key to a delicious smoothie. Cucumber, spinach, celery or carrots are examples.

Vegs add extra nutrients to the frozen berries, oranges, or banana in the smoothie. And it is June Dairy Month.

Plain yogurt adds calcium :) 3. Hash. The steps to a breakfast hash are

June 2021

simple: choose vegetables and caramelize in a skillet. Add meats or top with an egg if desired. Some ideal vegetables to include in a hash are finely diced potatoes or sweet potatoes, onions and mushrooms. Use whatever veggies you have. Canned vegetables such as corn, beans, or asparagus are also great, ef-

fortless additions to any brunch hash.

Spice it up with favorite herbs and seasonings.

4. Sandwich. Starting your day off with a breakfast sandwich is another troublefree method to pack in the veggies.

Spread some avocado on 100% whole grain bread or English muffins, add sliced tomatoes, fresh greens, and an over-easy egg for a savory and wholesome breakfast. If you find yourself getting bored with the breakfast sandwich, you could easily switch it up by substituting the bread with a tortilla, and dipping it into salsa for some added flavor.

Eating vegetables provides health benefits, shares www.MyPlate.gov. People who eat more vegetables and fruits as part of an overall healthy diet are likely to have a reduced risk of some chronic diseases. Vegetables provide nutrients vital for health and maintenance of your body. Most veggies are naturally low in fat and calories.

Check out MyPlate.gov to figure out the amount of veggies you need. It shows why various veggies are important for health, too!

Enjoy a Veggie morning!
