Greens for Breakfast

My daily green juice!
Are you eating enough dark leafy greens? You can never get enough of these nutrient-filled, fiber-packed, detoxifying, cancer fighters. 

They help to banish blemishes leaving radiant, glowing skin, and they aid in weight loss. So, why not try to get a serving in at breakfast, too? 

Here are some ideas to have greens for breakfast:

Green Smoothies
The trick with green smoothies is to make sure there's a bit of fruit in it to sweeten the taste. Try the Rainbow Rise and Shine Smoothie or Mellow Green Smoothie

Green Toast
Top your millet bread or Homemade Almond Flour Bread with garlicky Swiss chard or spinach. You can heat up leftovers, or quickly sauté in the morning. 

Green Hash Browns
Throw a handful or two of your favorite greens into your morning potatoes, like this sweet potato mash

Green Oats
Who says oatmeal has to be sweet? Sneak a handful or two of baby spinach into your morning oats with this savory breakfast oatmeal. 

Green Juice
Probably the most common way to add some green to your morning, fresh pressed juices offer a hydrating way to get your vitamins. The only downside is that they don't contain any of the fiber like a smoothie would. They still make a good a.m. choice to wake your body up, though!  Try the Green Tonic or Green Lemonade
