Most UK adults eat no vegetables at breakfast. Adding even a small portion (avocado on toast, spinach in eggs, tomatoes alongside) makes hitting 5+ daily portions much easier — front-loaded earlier in the day.
What works
Eggs with spinach, tomatoes, mushrooms. Avocado on toast. Smoothie with hidden greens. Last night's roasted vegetables alongside eggs.
Why it matters
By 2pm you're often already at 2-3 portions, making 5+ daily target easier. Better blood sugar response than carb-heavy breakfast alone.
Two weeks of vegetables-at-breakfast usually shifts the pattern permanently.
