When the boys were little we had Green Eggs for breakfast almost every day.
Green Eggs
I love this dish because it’s great to start the day with a nice dose of green vegetables, and the boys adored how bright these eggs are.
Green Eggs are also amazing because they’re a fun food that doesn’t contain any dye, but they still have a bright green color!
Breakfast Ideas That Are Easy
My favorite way to dress up these green eggs is with gluten free bread and avocado.
I toast a piece of my Recipe for Bread with Almond Flour, then, by adding half a sliced avocado to the plate I balance my protein with blood sugar-stabilizing fat. This superfood combination will start your day off right.
Recipe for Green Eggs and Ham

Homemade Sausage Recipe
When I make Green Eggs, I serve them with the Breakfast Sausage on page 31 of my book, Paleo Cooking from Elana’s Pantry, and my Keto Bread.
We love all the fun of St. Patrick’s Day. We also adore Purim which usually falls around the same time.
My homemade gluten free Raspberry Hamantaschen recipe is made with an almond flour base and very lightly sweetened with honey.
The boys still ask me to make it every year for Purim!

The Green Eggs and Ham Story
Did you grow up loving Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss? I did, and in turn, I read this classic to the boys.
Like these breakfasts, it’s perfect for St. Patrick’s Day and all year round!
This post is an oldie but goodie from the archives, I first shared this Green Eggs recipe in 2011.
Lou says
How many does this serve?
Lana says
Hi Elana, can I make these in a regular blender?
Elana says
Lana, I haven’t tried that so not sure if the kale will be completely blended into the eggs with a regular blender :-)
Sara says
If I don’t have a Vitamix, is there another effective way to purée the kale to the right consistency for these since I really want to try them for me and my boys?
Elana says
Sara, I haven’t tried that so not sure :-)
Erica N says
Loved these green eggs! I put salsa on top and they were awesome!
Elana says
Erica, that’s a fantastic idea. Sounds so yummy!
Carli says
I thought these looked so weird that I HAD to try them for myself. Oh my goodness, am I glad that I did!!!!!!!! So delicious! Wow! Thank you!
Elana says
Carlie, I know! They look so weird but taste so good!
Leila says
These are really cool. I want to make a day of entirely green meals, and this will definitely be breakfast.
Also, if you haven’t tried it with ketchup, it’s really worth doing.
Elana says
Thanks Leila!
NotCathy@robostir says
Hi Elana, I am amazed with your post. I never would have thought that just adding a little kale could make them so green! Looks so yummy!
Thanks!
Elana says
Thanks!
marla says
Hey! For some reason I have not had those breakfast sausages. I always purchase nitrate free ones but I will be on the lookout for these. Love the green eggs with kale. Great idea!
Elana says
Thanks Marla!

I cannot even tell you how this thrills me! I love the idea of green eggs, just never wanted to use any sort of dye. This is going into my breakfast rotation NOW.
Elana says
Yes, green veggies beat green dye any day!

My boyfriend is currently on a paleo plan + no fruits/sweetener or starchy veg. I think he will be fully in love with this!
