BREAKFAST - I eat a lot of these for lunch and dinner as well. Don't get too caught up in the title of breakfast. I am also known to eat a kale big salad first thing in the morning. Do what feels right at the moment!
Urs' Breakfast Bowl
My friend Urs recently invited me over for a plant-based breakfast. It did not fall short of spectacular. The simple breakfast bowl has been on my table every morning for breakfast since then. I cannot seem to get sick of it. It's my new fave. My 11 year old looooves it as well.
1/4 c Udi's granola
2 T toasted pumpkin seeds and/or toasted cashews, toasted in a pan then sprayed with tahini
1 chopped apple or ANY type of fruit you want. I hav now tried berries, bananas, pears and it's all perfect
1 T gogi berries
1 T ground flax
1 T chopped fresh mint leaves
1/4 c coconut milk
Instructions:
Put all of the ingredients in a bowl and add the coconut milk and stir. Top with the gogi berries.
Play around with different fruits and nuts as they change the taste a bit and make it more fun.
So easy!!
Breakfast Quinoa
1 c cooked quinoa (make a bunch and you will have it all week, but make with water not broth to use in breakfast dishes)
2 dried chopped apricots
1 T gound flax
5 chopped up cashews
1 chopped pear
A smidge of vanilla
½ c homemade almond milk or store bought.
Heat quinoa and add the rest and stir then enjoy!
Tofu Scramble
8 oz organic tofu drained
1 green pepper
1 red pepper
1/2 onion
1 T bragg aminos
1/2 t cumin
1/2 t turmeric
salsa and cilantro (optional)
sprinkle of vegan cheese (optional)
2 tortillas
Broth saute veggies until they are soft. Crumble tofu into the size of scrambled eggs and add spices and braggs and toss around until it is cooked and looks like scrambled eggs. Put in a tortilla and add salsa, avocado, cilantro and vegan cheese (if desired), then roll up and enjoy!
Quickie oats-n-apples
Chop an apple and grind 1-2 t of flax, and add to 1 c cooked oatmeal.
Finish with cinnamon and vanilla and a tiny bit of plant milk
Toast and almond butter and bananas
1 slice whole grain toast or sprouted grain toast with 1 T almond butter and ½ banana. Sprinkle with flax meal and enjoy
Veggie toast
GF of sprouted grain bread
smear of avocado
grated raw carrot
grated raw beet or zucchini
sprinkle of salt and pepper
Smear avo on bread and add the rest with a pinch of salt and pepper
Fruit salad
fruit preferably some berries since they are so nutrient rich
jicama chopped up - about a cup full
Cut up whatever fruit you have and sprinkle on cinnamon. Somehow cutting it up makes it feel more like a breakfast and the jicama is so good and crunchy in there!
