Breakfast really is the most important meal of the day but what can you eat when bacon and eggs are out of the question?
There really are a number of options and many of them are make-ahead ones. This means you can prepare breakfast on the weekends, freeze it, and have a ready-to-go breakfast during your busy work week – all while still eating a vegan diet. Here are just a few easy breakfast ideas.
Steel Cut Oats
Steel cut oats take up to an hour to cook on the stovetop. They’re delicious and packed with nutrients. Did you know that you can make them in advance and freeze the portions? You can also simply soak the oats overnight, heat in the morning and top with your favorite nuts and dried fruit.
Toast
Toast in and of itself is not a very good breakfast. However, top it with half of a ripe avocado and you have a healthy breakfast that’s also a tasty treat. Or find a nut butter that you love (try cashew or almond) and smear that on a good whole grain bread. It’s fast and easy.
Smoothies
A little soy yogurt or coconut milk and your favorite fruit and you can have a hearty and tasty breakfast. Bananas, strawberries, and even spinach and kale can give you a breakfast that’s quick to make, easy to consume, and packed with nutrients. Add a little vegan protein powder to ensure complete nutrition.
These are just some of the ideas you can embrace on your path to a healthy vegan lifestyle. Muffins, tofu scrambles, and even waffles make great breakfasts that can, with a little advanced preparation, be a quick solution for busy mornings.
