Oh HELLO loves of my life. Today is going to be a great day…I can just tell 
I don’t know about you, but it’s gorgeous outside in my neck of the woods.
Too bad I can’t take a “mental health day,” huh?
I woke up this morning after having some crazy dreams last night. Maybe eating a whole block of fudge before going to bed last night wasn’t such a good idea…? I still managed to squeeze in a pretty decent 25 minutes of Pilates/Yoga to start the day off right.
breakfast.
Generally I prefer something sweet for breakfast (then again, when don’t I prefer something sweet?). But today, it was all about the savory.
Breakfast salad, anyone?
The salad included:
- about 2 cups baby spinach, steamed
- 1 egg
- 2 slices turkey bacon
- 1/2 avocado, mashed
- feta cheese
- black beans
Not only was this delicious and filling, but it felt great to get a couple of servings of veggies in so early in the day. I’ll never entirely deny my sweet treats for breakfast, but sometimes a savory breakfast salad is the way to go.
Got to get back to work! Enjoy your Thursday, dolls. xoxo G
- Do you prefer a sweet or savory breakfast?
- What breakfast do you find to be the most filling?
i don’t think i’ve ever had a salad for breakfast! (pizza, now that’s a different story!
) you made it look fantastic. this would also be a great way to satisfy my “breakfast for dinner” cravings at dinnertime.
love this idea! you reinvented the veggie omlette! i dont eat meat, but i think this is something i’ll try, sans bacon!
I go back and forth between sweet and savory breakfasts too. I don’t know if I could do salad tho.
savory breakfasts all the way! i actually really like leftovers for breakfast…yes i’m weird
I love my sweet breakfasts, but this looks like it would be an amazing salad beast. Just not sure I could get over the weirdness of eating lettuce in the morning…peanut butter sandwiches are the most savory I’ve ever gotten!
Your salad for breakfast looks perfect! I think I go back and forth. Oatmeal has to be sweet but I also make omelets which are savory!
I don’t think I have a preference between sweet or savory breakfast - I love both!
You salad looks really yummy, wish I had one! It’s missing some salsa though
I love your breakfast salad! perfect for me since Im 100 percent savory!
I usually go with sweet breakfast- cold cereal + fruit or oatmeal. But I love savory breakfasts, too. Omelettes or poached eggs with toast are my faves to order at a restaurant. Add avocado or black beans to anything and I’m a happy girl.
What a great idea!!!! I love salads any time of day so throwing in some eggs and turk bacon sounds delish!
Ahhhh, I want a mental health day!
Have a wonderful day love!!! XOXOX
Oatmeal is definitely the most filling breakfast for me. I love having my green tea frappachino in the morning because I throw in about 2-3 cups of spinach in it, so I get my veggies with out even knowing it.
And I so had crazy dreams last night. So so frightening.
WOAH! I have never seen anyone eat a salad in the morning. Hahaha! I mean it has a lot of the breakfast-y foods in it but still. Haha you’re definitely creative, I like it!
I prefer savory and my favorite breakfast is a ham and cheese omelet, hashbrowns and wheat toast. Not nearly as healthy as it could be, but satisfying nonetheless. If I ate cereal or something else sugary, I’d be eating again within a couple of hours because it doesn’t satisfy me for long.
I’m new to reading and contributing to the health blogs I’m following. I’ve been gathering some great ideas and learning new things about products I’ve read about. I look forward to following your journey as I embark on mine. Have a blessed day!
I love switching things up again! The salad looks great. I always go savory, but this morning I went sweet with French Toast Banana Wonderful!
Looks like we switched taste buds this morning
i’ve never done salad for breakfast!!
Sweet, hands down. It is very, very rare that I ever get a craving for a savory breakfast. I do love savory breakfast for dinner meals though!
That looks delicious. I have been known to eat spaghetti and such for breakfast since I am not always in the mood for breakfast foods.
I really like your salad idea! I mean, breakfast is just another meal that happens to be in the morning, right?
I have definitely eaten salad for breakfast- especially during times when I had a lot of lettuce in my CSA box and my favorite dressing on hand!
I think I tend to favor savory breakfasts more often than sweet ones…although this morning, I ate a pineapple chobani with oats and raw almonds (and enjoyed every bite).
I usually go sweet in the mornings too but also have those days where I want something hearty and savory.
Also, sugar right before bed always gives me freaky dreams too!
I much prefer savory breakfast over
Sweet but…. Since I don’t eat meat or many eggs it’s
Harder now but lately I switch each day from oatmeal with almond butter and jam from home one day to spinach feta egg white wraps from strbucks the next day
I only like savory if its cooked, like an egg omelet. I can do salads for brunch, but something about a salad with coffee or green tea doesn’t sit well with me!
Just wondering, since I go there every summer, what town are you staying at the Jersey shore? Are you actually in Cape May? I’ve always been an Avalon/Stone Harbor girl and I nannyed in Ocean City. I’m obsessed with the fudge kitchen! We used to walk by repeatedly to get free samples at the store on 96th Street. I love Cape May county!
I really enjoy having sweet breakfast foods. My absolute favourite breakfast is Kath’s Baked Banana Oatmeal. If you haven’t tried it yet I would definetely recommend it! I usually enjoy it with some fresh berries and drizzled with agave nectar. It is very filling too!
I definitely prefer a sweet brekkie to savory. Although sometimes I’ll find myself ordering savory when I’m out to brunch now… I used to NEVER choose eggs over pancakes, but I think the appeal of veggies has started to change my mind on occasion.
Most filling breakfast: a big, packed bowl of oatmeal. Always.
I love this breakfast! It looks so filling also! Savory is definitely the way to go for me on most days!
That breakfast salad looks awesome! I have never craved a salad for breakfast - though I might now that I know it’s an option lol
I would totally gobble this up for lunch, but I can’t imagine having a savory breakfast! I have way too much of a sweet tooth in the mornings.
