Breakfast Recipes For Vegans

High-protein, vegan breakfast foods?

But here is the catch, no wheat flour! I am gluten intolerant and vegan. Any high protein vegan, and gluten free recipes out there for breakfast!

Someone already suggested a tofu scramble and using quinoa instead of oatmeal…all of these are great ideas.

My personal favorite is what I like to call a “hash brown scramble.” Dice a small onion (or half a large onion) and add these to a skillet heated on medium heat with a bit of oil and/or vegan butter in there. Use whatever potatoes you like (Russet works best…these are the “regular” potatoes you’ll find in the store), and grate them with a cheese grater (you can also dice them if you prefer). Put the potatoes into the skillet with the onions, and add some minced garlic if you like. After about 5 minutes (when the potatoes start to get soft), add some veggies of your choice and cook together. Add vegan baked beans and cook together until the beans are warmed. Serve.

Another option you can do is instead of just adding any veggies and then baked beans, you can add sliced bell pepper, diced jalapeno pepper, some fire-roasted green chilies (you can get these in the Mexican section of any store), hot sauce, and black beans. Season with cumin, salt, and pepper to taste, heat everything through. Serve this with corn tortillas, fresh cilantro, salsa or pico de gallo, diced tomato, and sliced olives. Add some vegan cheese and/or a dollop of vegan sour cream. This may not seem like a “breakfast” meal to some, but it’s a very Tex-Mex/Mexican breakfast. Add some Spanish rice as a side to kick up the protein content.

With the quinoa or gluten-free oats, you can add a handful of dried fruit and nuts during cooking. Add more nutrition by putting milled flax seed in there. Serve by slicing half a banana onto the dish, drizzle with pure maple syrup, and a glass of your favorite milk.

With the tofu scramble, try making it into a sandwich or wrap using gluten-free toast/tortilla/pita. Add even more protein by spreading the bread/tortilla/pita with hummus.

If you’re in a hurry, you can make a protein smoothie. You can add whatever you’d like based on your tastes, but my favorite is the Chunky Monkey:
2 shots of espresso, or 8oz coffee (if you don’t like coffee, use 8oz your choice of milk…I prefer hemp milk in my smoothies)
1 scoop chocolate protein powder
1 banana
1-2 tablespoons natural peanut butter
handful of ice

Place all ingredients in a blender (put the banana and ice in last for easy blending), blend until smooth, and enjoy!
