Last week I posted an image on Instagram about incorporating veggies at breakfast. A number were skeptical about how veggies could be added to oats…so I’m here to show you how to do that! Check out the recipes below! We have an apple cinnamon cauliflower overnight oat, a zucchini bread overnight oat and a carrot cake overnight oat!
In 2021, I’m encouraging you to keep it simple when it comes to setting nutrition goals. For example, adding veggies to meals where you wouldn’t normally find them – for most (including myself) this is breakfast!
Why this goal? You’re getting an extra dose on micronutrients and fibre + you’re likely lowering the caloric content of your meal.
Please share with me how you’ve incorporated veggies at breakfast! Would love to hear more ideas!
