Savory Breakfasts & Tofu Scrambles

When I have the choice, I always choose savory breakfast. I love everything from Tofu Scrambles to Breakfast Burritos. These recipes are hearty, filled with protein, and keep you fueled all day long.

Among my favorite savory recipes, you’ll find:

• Vegan Huevos Rancheros
• Vegan Biscuits and Gravy
• Classic Vegan Scrambled Eggs
• Mexican Tofu Scramble
• Southwest Breakfast Burrito
• Tofu Avocado Benedict
• Shiitake Mushroom Quiche
• Vegan Carrot Lox Sandwich

Overnight Oats & Granola

Overnight oats and granola are my go-to grab-and-go breakfasts. You can make overnight oats the night before and have quick and filling breakfasts all week long. Or bake up a batch of granola and mix it with vegan yogurt and fresh berries for delicious and satisfying vegan parfaits.

My go-to oats recipes include:

• Homemade Super Chunky Granola
• Strawberries and Cream Overnight Oats
• Blueberry Overnight Oats
• Healthy Chocolate Peanut Butter Oats
• Blueberry Baked Oatmeal

Vegan Pancakes & Waffles

Vegan pancakes, waffles, and French toast are a huge hit at my house. Not only can these recipes be made in just about 10 minutes, but they are sweet, classic, and oh so satisfying.

• Perfect Vegan Pancakes
• 10-Minute Banana Pancakes
• Chocolate Chip Pancakes
• Classic French Toast

Smoothies & Smoothie Bowls

Everyone loves a good smoothie! Smoothies are refreshing, light, and the perfect way to sneak in your favorite protein powders and superfoods. I give my kids smoothies nearly every morning and they have no idea all the wholesome and healthy foods they are drinking.

Here are a few of my favorite smoothie recipes:

• Blueberry Coconut Smoothie Bowl
• Chocolate Hazelnut Smoothie Bowl
• Tropical Smoothie Bowl
• 3-Ingredient Peanut Butter Shake
• Tropical Green Smoothie
• 5-Minute Acai Bowl
