How to add greens to your diet? Try this Power Breakfast recipe with Steamed vegetables – Broccoli, Beans, Carrots and scrambled eggs.
Did you think you can have greens only in salad? NO. I am a big fan of greens and I try to include green and colored vegetables in our daily diet. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and it’s better when you include a good amount of proteins in your breakfast. I make this power breakfast recipe twice a week where we include scrambled eggs and lots of green vegetables and colored vegetables like broccoli, green beans, peas, carrots. You can add any amount of vegetables that you are fond of in fact. The best part of this power breakfast recipe – NO OIL, LESS CARBOHYDRATE. This happens to be a good breakfast routine for weight loss.
Why is Breakfast so important?
Did you know the studies that show the importance of this meal?
- A recent study by Columbia University found that people eating breakfast regularly, are at a lower risk for obesity than those skipping it.
- A study in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that eating a high-protein breakfast is more satiating than eating high-carb one – simply put, you’ll stay fuller for longer.
- You should include 15 – 25 grams of protein for breakfast.

What are some protein rich foods that I can take in breakfast?
Eggs, nuts, Chia seeds, peanut butter and toast – there are many things that you can take in your breakfast that are full of protein and good for your health. I always prefer fresh food over protein shakes and powders.
Why is this Power Breakfast Recipe with Steamed vegetables Broccoli, Beans, Carrots and scrambled eggs so healthy?
I told you earlier, we are not using any oil for this recipe. All vegetables are steamed over water and the scrambled egg is done on a thick non-stick pan – so no need to grease the pan too.
Let’s also give you some nutrition fact on the vegetables we are using.
- Broccoli – 90% water, 7% carbs and 3% protein, and almost no fat
- Carrots – Contains pectin (soluble fiber), 10% carbs
- Green Peas – only 62 calories per ½ cup
- Green Beans – One cup of raw green beans has 2.7 g of fiber
- eggs – egg white is all protein, 1 egg white is 17 calories and no Fat
I have used whole eggs in tis power breakfast recipe. You can make only egg white scrambles too. I use a lot of egg whites in my breakfasts.

We like our breakfast with steaming green tea. Few thing you need to remember while steaming.
- Don’t over steam – you will lose nutrients from the vegetables, and lose the beautiful colors of the vegetables
- You can add a little squeeze of lemon over the steamed vegetables to jazz it up
- If you are really not thinking about making it completely oil less, you can add little butter over steamed veggies for an added taste

I try and include Eggs, nuts and soaked Chia seeds in my diet as frequently as possible. And when ever i have scrambled egg for breakfast i alway have pan roasted veggies on side to go with it. 🙂
I just loved the steamer you used. Could you please share the online purchase link of it ?

So happy that you’ve retained the yolks in the recipe. These days, egg-yolks are so vilified that it’s very disheartening for someone like me who loves to eat minimum 3-4 eggs/week. Pining it for future use.

This looks so good! I just love the combination of steamed or roasted colorful veggies with Egg! Great pictures!
