Breakfast ideas that sneak in spinach
Spinach is an easy morning add-in that boosts nutrients without much prep. Use quick cook methods and pair with eggs, grains, or smoothies for balanced starts.
Quick ideas:
- Fold wilted spinach into scrambled eggs or omelettes.
- Blend spinach into smoothies with banana, yogurt, and a splash of orange juice.
- Layer fresh baby spinach in breakfast sandwiches with egg and cheese.
- Stir chopped raw spinach into overnight oats or cottage cheese for a savory twist.
Practical tips:
- Sauté a big batch of spinach at the start of the week and refrigerate to quickly add to breakfasts.
- Pair with proteins (eggs, Greek yogurt, smoked salmon) to keep you full.
- Use frozen spinach in fritters or mixed into batter for muffins to add veg without texture issues.
These approaches make it painless to include leafy greens in your morning routine and work with varied flavor profiles.
