Green Eggs and Greens!

The idea of having greens for breakfast can be weird in the start — but if you want to LOVE how your body feels and have all kinds of energy and mental focus, give it a chance.

———————————————————————————

Ingredients

  • About 4 cups of greens, roughly chopped.

  • ¼ or so of an onion, chopped

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • And I’m also going to add in a handful of chopped broccoli for a bit of crunch, diversity, and also for broccoli’s super powers

  • A good glug of olive oil

  • small handful of chopped parsley and some fresh basil (optional)

  • 2 eggs

———————————————————————————

Instructions

  1. Heat your pan over medium heat or med/low

  2. Add olive oil

  3. Saute onions, garlic, and broccoli up until they're tender, translucent and starting to release their sweetness… which is the  goal. We don’t want raging onion and garlic breath first thing in the morning!

    We also want to be stirring it often so the garlic doesn’t burn, burnt garlic is a bummer. 

  4. Add your greens and sauté until wilted

  5. If using fresh herbs, stir them in just before you turn off the heat.

  6. I serve this with eggs, cooked however you like your eggs cooked!

    You can also sub eggs out for quality sausage, leftover shredded chicken, bacon, chickpeas or edamame beans, cooked ground meat… Any protein you like!
