1Plant based breakfast you must try today
Want to know how to make a breakfast that is filling, nutrient rich and high in protein? And let’s add the cherry on top…. it’s plant based! No artery clogging ingredients, just great flavor that’s quick and easy.
As many of us have grown up hearing that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, I can’t confirm or deny, but what I do know, is that we all need to make sure we feed not only our bodies in the morning, but feed our brain, especially with glucose ( sugar), good sugars that is. Eating in the mornings makes sure our glucose levels are with in normal limits and actually help us function appropriately, think clearly and start the day with off on the right foot.
I’m going to share with you all the ingredients I’ve put together to make a quick and easy, nutrient dense, high protein, plant based breakfast. Let’s make Tofu Scramble!
1.Extra Frim tofu
I usually use about 1/5 of the block to get approximately 13 grams of plant protein.
2. Two moring star sAusage patties
This brand is one of my favorites! I air fry the patties at 350 F for about 8 minutes to get them fully cooked, but not too crispy so they can be cut up easily in the scramble. Adding two of these plant based sausages add an extra 20 grams of protein!
3. Pickled onions
This definitely gives the dish full flavor that is sweet and salty. If you don’t like onions, no problem you can either substitute them or leave them out completely as the guacamole sauce will provide extra flavor.
4. RoasteD cherry tomatoes
Adding the tomatoes will add a little acidity and color to the dish. I place about 6-8 tomatoes in the air fryer with the sausages to make cooking even faster.
5. Spinach
Adding greens to any breakfast dish is a great idea. Add about a handful in a bowl with the tofu smashed up with a fork and then microwave for 1 minute.
Once the plant based breakfast sausages and cherry tomatoes are cooked to perfection, add them to the bowl of spinach and tofu. Top with a spoonful of your pickled onions if desired and top off with 1-2 tablespoons of guacamole salsa of your choice. Add pepper to taste and viola! You have your tofu egg scramble ready in less than 10 minutes. Enjoy!!
