This green kale and eggs breakfast makes me think of the Dr. Seuss book, “Would you eat them on a train? Would you eat them in the rain? I would not eat them here or there, I would not eat them anywhere!”
Haha, I won’t be as pushy as Sam I am, but I do hope you’ll give this green kale & eggs breakfast a try! It is seriously addicting and delicious.

If you’re a tired mom like I am in the morning, this breakfast is SO easy you can make it before coffee. It is satiating and fueling; leaving you feeling energized and full.
