If breakfast (real breakfast… not a cup of coffee and a slice of toast) is your jam, here are some of my favorite options! I tend to eat them post workout (I work out very early in the morning), and find that these dishes replenish my body and give me enough fuel to really take on the day.

BANANA OATMEAL:

2 bananas

3 cups of cashew milk (see here for recipe)

Oats

Sea Salt

Put bananas and milk in a blender and blend until smooth. Pour into a saucepan and warm over low heat until hot to touch. Sprinkle sea salt to taste, then add oats to desired thickness. Cook to desired firmness, remove from heat, and eat.

*You can make the same dish with 6-10 dates instead of bananas

 

TOFU SCRAMBLE

1 cup yellow baby tomatoes

1/4 cup fresh chopped cilantro

1/3 avocado

sea salt

garlic

cracked pepper

vegan cheese (optional)

Dice vegetables. Smash tofu until it resembles ‘scrambled eggs.’ Heat non-stick pan over high heat, saute onions and bell pepper, then add tofu and spices (to taste). stir until tofu is fully heated, then add vegan cheese. Stir  until melted, plate, and sprinkle tomatoes and cilantro on top. Garnish with avocado on the side.
