Yes, I recently watched a little Scooby Doo with my youngest niece in Kansas…zoinks just happened. 

Good morning! I’m here to bring salad to your breakfast repertoire.

• Girl, you are cra-cra…zy.
• Salad for breakfast?? I don’t even like it with dinner.
• Stop trying to make me into a human rabbit!

Now before you walk away right now and reach for a donut or a McDonald’s bacon, egg & cheese biscuit, hear me out. I like easy, quick, cheap breakfast stuff like any other. And I also like breaking food rules (like dessert before dinner). So, why not break some food rules that are healthy, too? Like salad for breakfast. There is no hard and fast rule for excluding greens from breakfast {insert a million and one “green smoothie revolutions,” all with clever, punchy names}. In fact, greens are a great start for the day…along with some protein.

Why not try 2 egg whites with a dash of 21 Seasoning Salute + 1/2 a zucchini, a sprinkle of sunflower seeds + dried cranberries, tossed on a bed of greens? (Feeling fancy? add avocado.)

Bam. Breakfast.

Breakfast Salad

Serves 1 happy customer {you, silly} in SIX minutes, tops

2 egg whites

1/2 zucchini, sliced super thin

Dash of 21 Seasoning Salute or your favorite spice mix

1 TB sunflower seeds

1 TB dried cranberries

2-3 cups mixed greens

2 teaspoons of salad dressing {optional}

In a pan, toss in the zucchini and egg whites and cook for a few minutes. Plate them, along with the rest of the ingredients. Devour. Break the rules. Feel really good about it afterward.

*Obviously, throw in veggies/toppings that you have on hand. Make it easy. Mix up combos of savory and sweet with produce and seeds/nuts.

Happy Wednesday!
