I have written before (here and here) of the reasons behind my deep and abiding love for a breakfast of greens, eggs, and whole grains — and also of the many folks out there in the world, happily eating this breakfast, and thinking it’s the bee’s knees.
Collectively, we form a little-known but highly-devoted Breakfast Club!
This week, another greens-eggs-grains enthusiast has joined our ranks! A friend decided to start her week with this super-fast variation on the morning meal: whole-wheat toast with kale and a hard-boiled egg (the latter two prepared the night before, so that at breakfastime, the only effort required was to toast the toast while reheating the kale).
She wrote me of her experience, “It was so totally amazing!” The blood sugar drop she usually experiences mid-morning, gone!
(Steady blood sugar — and the clear-headedness that accompanies it — is my absolute favorite aspect of this breakfast, for sure.)
In her note, my friend added, “I will admit, it felt weird to have kale in the morning, but it tasted really good.”
Another convert to the bright side of breakfast!
Our Breakfast Club is always accepting new members — hope to welcome you soon!
I am a huge fan of kale at any time of the day, but also have been known to love greens at breakfast. Shrimp & grits with baby spinach and hot sauce is my all time favorite fancy breakfast though. I only have it a few times a year!
Oooooh, that sounds like a mighty fine breakfast! I will have to give it a try!
When I was in college (only a year ago) I would regularly eat omelets with spinach in it along with two slices of whole grain bread. I was eating cereal too quickly because it’s so easy to eat for every meal, so I was spending a fortune on it (cereal is way too expensive!). When I started eating omelets for breakfast, I spent less money on groceries because I actually had to actually cook instead of mindlessly inhaling whatever was in my pantry. Not only that, but I also felt better throughout the day. Now I’m living at home again, and cost of food isn’t so much a problem so I’m back to my old cereal eating habits. However, I do eat healthy, whole grain, low sugar cereals.
