Getting more veg at breakfast

Does anyone actually manage to get started on their 5 a day at breakfast? I'm pretty good at dinners, ok at lunches (albeit mostly fruit) but nothing at breakfast...

I much prefer savoury breakfasts which doesn't help, but most ideas I've found online are either sweet (fruit based) or involve a lot of prep, which isn't really realistic in the mornings!

I might be asking the impossible I realise Smile

Make your own baked beans with fresh tomatoes and fresh beans

I quite often have:
Spinach sauteed in butter (& garlic if I'm not going anywhere) with tomatoes & soft boiled egg.
Mushrooms (must be done in butter, not oil).
Can't stand omelette for some reason, but I like scrambled eggs.
Sauteed leeks.
Sauteed kale.
Grilled tomatoes.

Maybe experiment with some different herbs & spices. I sometimes put a tiny pinch of turmeric in my scrambled eggs, or a little grating of nutmeg in sauteed mushrooms (which also need ground pepper). Oregano on grilled tomatoes.

I often make smoothies in the summer. Fruit (banana, raspberries, or cherries) from the freezer, yoghurt, big handful of spinach. Enough water to make it drinkable. Or, pineapple, mint & half a cucumber.

Sometimes, yoghurt, fruit & granola/muesli if I want comfort food, if I'm not feeling well. Sometimes in the winter I make porridge & put frozen fruit in it - frozen strawberries or raspberries make it go a very pretty pink.

Loads of delicious ideas on here! I buy Alvelle Gazpacho and have a glass in the mornings, wakes me up nicely and one less coffee!
