We were recently looking at lists of vegan breakfasts, and we weren’t all that impressed. It often seems that, if you are vegan, people expect you to immediately be an adventurous eater who shuns traditional foods. We like trying new things and foods from different cultures. But, when it comes to breakfast, we prefer the old tried and true options.
You might think that traditional breakfasts aren’t an option for you after switching to a vegan diet. However, with a few substitutions, you can enjoy regular breakfast foods. September is Better Breakfast Month. Eating breakfast helps you start your day with energy and aids weight management as it can guide you toward healthier food choices throughout the day. Today, we are sharing tasty, low-carb, vegan breakfasts that are great ways to kick off your day!
If you have ever wanted to make yogurt, this is your chance! This recipe could not be simpler. All it takes is two ingredients and time. Making this has about two minutes of active work time. But it needs to “activate” for at least 24 hours. So, make it one morning to enjoy the next! The recipe makes six servings, and the yogurt stays fresh in the fridge for seven days, so you can get almost a week’s worth of breakfast every time you make this dish! A serving has 120 calories, two grams of carbs and 12 grams of fat. Get the recipe.
If you have recently switched to a vegan diet, there is a good chance you miss eggs. This easy tofu scramble will stop you from yearning for eggs. What’s more, unlike scrambled eggs, they can be reheated without going rubbery. And they are versatile and can be used in tacos! For prep work, you do have to press the brick of tofu to remove the excess moisture. But that’s it! Because of the spice blend and nutritional yeast in the recipe, this scramble is anything but bland! Instead, it tastes more like well-seasoned scrambled eggs with cheese. A serving has 93 calories, four grams of carbs, two grams of fiber and six grams of fat. Get the recipe.
We would love to say that vegan baked goods are always great. That would be a giant lie. Many vegan baked goods are a swing and a miss. But these delicious scones are a wonderful way to start your day off! They take 40 minutes, but you can bake them the night before and enjoy them the next morning! They are a great way to enjoy a sweet pastry without eggs or milk! A serving has 285 calories, 10.4 grams of carbs, five grams of fiber and 25.9 grams of fat. Get the recipe.
These waffles are gluten-free, low-carb and vegan. We don’t blame you if that makes you skeptical about their quality. But they are fluffy and use coconut flour that acts as a binder, so you don’t need eggs. These can be frozen for meal prep, so you have them whenever you want. But, we’ll be honest, they are better when they are just made! While they have quite a few ingredients, they are easy to make, sweet and a perfect way to start your day. A serving has 125 calories, 15.6 grams of carbs, four grams of fiber and 3.9 grams of fat. Get the recipe.
We hope these recipes help you enjoy your mornings more and start the day with fewer cars. It can be challenging to find dishes you like if you are starting a new eating routine. These can be some of the first you collect!
