Vegetarians/Vegans what to eat for breakfast?

Samantha1941

I need a healthier on the go breakfast other than a mojo or luna bar (too much sugar). What do you eat? I don't consume milk or eggs either-anyone have any ideas(other than fruit)?? Thank you!

A Morningstar "sausage" pattie on a piece of toast or english muffin is nice and filling, and easy to eat on the go!
I always get the maple flavor, better flavor in my opinion

A piece of veggie sausage, slice of tomato, spinach, mini whole grain bagel.

Coconut or soy yogurt and granola.

This exactly ... I have been eating the Maple Morning star patties and they are actually good.

Green Monster Smoothie - 1 cup milk (I use Almondmilk, but you can use whatever), 1 big handful spinach, 1 banana. Blend.

You can add protein powder, other fruit, anything!

I mostly have porridge. I have instant, barley and oat, regular, steel cut, and quinoa porridge at home.

I also have some gluten free rice bubbles or Weetbix/Oat Brits on occasions.

I keep old fashioned oatmeal and raisins in my desk at work and just make it with hot water. You could add nuts or peanut butter for added protein. You could add a little brown sugar or maple syrup for sweetness.

:happy: It depends on how much time I have vs how lazy I am.

Lazy days not as nutritious: quick oatmeal or cereal (kix) with soymilk and fruit, maybe toast or an english muffin with earth balance or I make a smoothie.

Smoothie:
1 C soymilk
soy protein (for 20 g protein)
1 banana
1 C frozen fruit
1 C water

On the weekends when I have more time, I like to eat scrambled or diced tofu cooked in the pan with some spray (put a lil fry on it!) with some soy chorizo on the side, maybe some grits with EB, if I'm really feeling industrious, I make PANCAKES MMMM.

Pancakes: (if they're just for me I split this recipe in half and sub non calorie sweetener for the sugar and leave out the EB)
1 C flour
1 T sugar
1 - 1 1/2 C soymilk (I never know now thick ppl like their pancakes)
1 T baking powder
1 t salt
1 T melted EB
1 t vanilla
1 egg sub/ 1 T ground flax/ 1 small mooshed banana

What I love to do is have steel cut oatmeal. We cook it the night before in the crock pot.

Really you can have whatever you want to. Leftover vegan pizza even. :happy:

Whole wheat mini bagel with peanut butter, cereal with almond milk, toast with vegan cream cheese (Tofutti's good), oatmeal with any add ins (fruit, peanut butter and a few chocolate chips if you want something sweet, spices), vegan waffles with fruit and a drizzle of syrup, there's tons of stuff.

Do what they do in Japan, have miso soup with tofu.

deadstarsunburn

flax meal, peanut butter, honey, and cinnamon heated and mixed together.

Oatmeal!!! You can add so much to change up the flavors everyday! If you like soy products, you can also make any sort of scramble using tofu instead of eggs!

I just have peanut butter or just light butter spread on wholemeal toast-usually the 45 cal stuff. I know I'll burn it all off in the day anyway and it gives me protein which I lack unless I have quorn that day. Aaand tis tasty

I recommend muesli with almond milk. It's filling and there are so many types of muesli mixes (different nuts, fruits, seeds) so it's hard to get tired of it.

I like Seitenbacher Muesli #3 For Active People and Dorset Cereals Simply Fruit & Seeds.

i also suggest oatmeal. there's a brand called "better oats", and they have a line called "abundance", that has dried cranberries and flaxseeds in it also -- i specifically like the maple and brown sugar kind. it comes in packets and cooks up in 2 minutes in the microwave. to that i add 1/2 cup of natural applesauce, both to bulk it up and cool it down so i don't have to wait to eat it! 210 cals for the oatmeal and the applesauce, and it's very filling and satisfying.

aekaya

Hot, plain oatmeal topped with fruit, cinnamon, honey, and ground flax seeds! Very delicious and nutritious.

daffodilsoup

Oatmeal, smoothies and tofu scrambles are my favorites!

camillehardeman

I love my morning bowl of oatmeal! I get the Irish oatmeal, the quick cooking kind. One spoon of PB (Trader joes better n' PB for just 50 cal per spoon), and maybe some flax seeds for healthy fats. So satisfying!

Autumn wheat cereal with rice milk, or oatmeal with almond milk. Or I have a smoothie with almond milk, raw vegan protein powder, and half a banana or other fruit....

Most morningstar products have egg in them.

This sounds good! Does the banana cut the taste of the spinach?

radio_flyer

oatmeal made with sugar free coconut milk or almond milk. Or a GNC Lean shake made with half coconut milk and water.

Hey guys thanks for all the ideas. I don't eat morningstar since they have eggs in them. But light life makes yummy veggie bacon soI'll try their sausage. I don't like oatmeal but I am definitely going to give the monster smoothie a try and I never have waffles, so I am going to pick some up. Lipglossjunkie-I eat the autumn wheat cereal with almond milk too :

Thanks for the ideas!

2 slices whole wheat toast with nut butter and jam
1 whole wheat english muffin w/butter or nut butter and jam
1 cup cereal with almond milk
oatmeal with fruit or 1tbsp maple syrup (the real kind!)
1/2 cup granola mixed into the yogurt

i'm very boring. i tend to eat the same things over and over.

OP, you could sub in a soy/coconut milk yogurt here, but there are also lots of tasty recipes for homemade soy yogurt! I use the recipe from Fat Free Vegan and make a big batch over the weekend - it gets better as it sits in the fridge!

I am a vegan, and by far my most favorite breakfast is thick steel cut oatmeal with amonds and cranberries mixed in. it is delicious and healthy! On the go however is more difficult. try chocolate unsweented almond milk with a scoop of vegan protein powder? or a fresh blended fruit smoothie with almond milk, frozen fruit and vegan protein powder. also i love Kind Plus bars for a quick no hassle way to get breakfast. The sugar is from honey and all natural fruits! and the PLUS editions has 5 grams of fiber per serving. which is much better than a lot of breakfasts. Also try toasting a yummy english muffin with peanut butter hope this helps

I loooove eating Quaker's rolled oats with a tablespoon of melted peanutbutter and a sliced bananna. No dairy and no added sugar!

Oatmeal with sugar, raw chia seeds, cinnamon, nutmeg YUM

Jagmamma

Ezekiel bread with tomato, avocado and hummus for protein if you like a salty breakfast. Ezekiel with almond butter and banana for sweet on the go breakfast. Steel cut oats in the crock pot are yummo and and good old fashioned bowl of vegan granola or another filling vegan cereal with almond milk. MMMMmmm almond milk is delicious!

Why have I never thought of this - it sounds amazing!

It is difficult if you don't want a lot of carbs or sugar first thing in the morning. You might try having non-breakfast food like lentils or beans for breakfast, maybe a black bean burrito for on the go? Hummus is good, too. Maybe make your own breakfast hummus and instead of spicy, add some pumpkin and cinnamon?
