Vegetarians/Vegans what to eat for breakfast?

kate_n_pjs

My typical breakfast: (I eat this almost EVERY day)

drop 1/5 of a block of tofu in a non-stick skillet, using a spatula break it up some (I stick to larger chunks)
-sprinkle: a little tumeric for color, cumin, pepper, and liquid braggs
- cook for about 5 minutes stirring so all sides get a little brown.
- roll up in a tortilla with salsa, hot sauce, guacamole, vegan cheese, spinach, mixed greens... anything else for some added moisture.

Enjoy.
This keeps me FULL until lunch. I always pack a snack, very rarely do I eat it before lunch. I very rarely even have a mess to clean up, just rinse the spatula and skillet until the next day. I

coconut milk and cereal! or oatmeal and fruit! or toast with peanut butter. Banana/apple with peanut butter. Vegan pancakes (google it--there are zillions of recipes). there are many, many options for breakfast.

I'm not a vegetarian, but I do love my veggies! Also, I love savory breakfasts!

I like eating half a cup of oatmeal (usually instant) with a pinch of salt and top it with a handful of sauteed spinach. I always saute my spinach in olive oil on medium heat for about 5 minutes (the same length of time your instant oatmeal should take in the microwave or on stovetop). The bit of salt helps give the oatmeal flavor and helps me reach my sodium goal for the day The end result should be about 124 calories.

You can also make a vegetable omelette. I use water instead of milk because I'm lactose intolerant, but you can do whatever you like. I like to saute diced tomatoes, onion, pepper; if you can think of a vegetable for sauteeing, go for it! If you like vegan bacon or another veg-meat substitute, that might work with it (I've never tried meat substitute, though, so you would have to try that on your own). Just put your toppings in your omelette before you fold and voila! Another healthy and yummy breakfast

You can pair your breakfast with a tall glass of juice.

Tofu and veggie scramble

Whole grain toast with avocado and garlic salt

Quick oats with fruit

Greek yogurt (or almond milk is good too) with pumpkin flax granola and berries

Vegan sausage gravy (made with Twin Oaks breakfast veggie sausage and almond milk...) and biscuit

French toast with whole grain bread (use bananas and almond milk instead of eggs and milk) topped with berries

As people have already mentioned. Smoothies are a great "on the go" breakfast

tofu scramble or tempeh scrambles are always awesome

I'll make tofu tacos for breakfast sometimes, sauteed tofu and onions in a corn tortilla then Ill put some avocado and lettuce on top

oftentimes I'll just eat some fruit with some nuts if I dont have a lot of time

Kashi TLC bars have much less sugar than most protein or granola bars. A glass of soy or almond milk and some granola/trail mix or nuts. A hummus or tofu and veggie wrap. Soy yogurt. Frozen waffles with pb and a little syrup.

I make steel cut oats. I toss them into in fresh apple juice instead of water, add a diced apple, some maple extract, pumpkin pie spice, flax and dates. Simmer 25 minutes. Very filling and tastes like apple pie.

I also like to blend coconut milk, espresso, cocoa powder, protein powder, and ice for a great smoothie.

Green Monster all the way!!! 1c almond milk, banana, 1 tbsp chia seeds, 1 or 2 handfuls of spinach, scoop of protein powder. You can give it a mint flavor with a little bit of mint extract. Or somethimes I add a tbsp of PB2 ( powdered, low fat, low calorie peanut butter).

I am vegan and have tons of other things that you can eat too! But I don't want to take up the whole board

www.ohsheglows.com has tons of fantastic vegan recipes!

I make a huge batch of granola on sundays and it lasts me about two weeks if I eat one bowl a day. Mine usually consists of: oats, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, hemp seeds, chia seeds, dried cranberries and flax seeds, plus occasional add-ins like cacao nibs or shredded coconut. I would recommend making your own so you can control the amount of sugar and fat that goes into them. Most recipes I find online I sub applesauce for some of the oil and cut down on the sweetener a little bit (but not too much because then it doesn't clump together).

I like to eat this in a bowl with unsweetened nondairy milk (I like trader joe's rice milk), and a few fresh berries or banana.

And if you can eat nuts you could almonds, walnuts, etc!

steel cut oats raisins and almonds or peanutbutter.....coffee!!!!

I get up early enough so I don't have to eat on the run, but my go to vegan breakfasts are cereal with almond milk, cream of wheat, PB and Jelly on an english muffin.

I love left over rice or quinoa with almond milk and cinnamon.

I like cold or warm oatmeal depending on my mood, and I'll add raisins or other dried fruit sometimes.

Tofutti herb and garlic cream cheese substitute on and english muffin or toast is wonderful.

Even a banana with a soy yogurt is nice and portable too.

How about a smoothie, just add fruit and whatnot (protein powder if you wish) and blend and go.....if you add spinach you won't even taste it!!

I add a coffee or a tea....and I'm set for the morning!!

I always eat oatmeal or peanut butter toast. I used to lust put protein powder in my coffee and drink it on the way to work. lol

Watch the chewy TLC bars - they have stealth whey. The crunchies are safe.
