I eat my first meal of the day when I'm hungry, which is anywhere from 9:45 a.m. to noon. For the first few days of the veggies-for-breakfast month, I would mix veggies into my porridge, like shredded carrots or riced cauliflower. It was yummy, but it changed the texture of my porridge too much, and I really loved my creamy oats as they were.
I quickly switched to eating a separate small bowl of steamed broccoli, cauliflower, or carrots (or a mix of all three), and then I'd eat my oatmeal. I started with about half a pound of veggies (half a small bag), and by the end of that first week, I was eating one pound of veggies. By the second week, I was actually looking forward to my warm bowl.
