I have been having green smoothies 40 minutes before eating my breakfast. My green smoothies would consist of leafy vegetables (one kind each day from the following choices: talbos ng kamote, spinach, kangkong, pechay) mixed with cucumbers, carrots, calamansi, kaffir lime and blended by a juicer. When I cook omelet for breakfast, I make sure that it is mixed with veggies too. During our 5 day vacation in Seoul, the breakfast served in our hotel included a bowl of green salad (two types of green lettuce, cherry tomatoes with ranch dressing). It was weird at first to have green salad for breakfast but I realized that it sure made up for the veggies recommended for breakfast in the CGN program.

@kennydelrosario: You can eat as much as you want of the veggies but the usual amount is 1-2 cups
Yes you can have balsamic vinegar instead of homemade vinaigrette.

You can choose one or any (even all) among the choices of veggies. You may eat them raw or cooked steamed/blanched. You can dress them with homemade vinaigrette or eat them plain.
