40+ Whole Food Plant Based Breakfast Recipes
Are you wondering what you can eat for breakfast on a whole food plant based diet?
Transitioning to a plant based diet raises many questions. Are you eating a balanced diet or are you getting enough protein? What does a balanced plant based diet look like?
An option for a good plant based breakfast contains healthy whole grain starch, a plant based protein source, fresh fruits or veggies, and a little healthy fat.
Building your vegan breakfast recipe according to the vegan food pyramid will ensure balanced nutrition but will also keep you full and energized for a long time.
Choose healthy grains like oats, chickpea flour, whole wheat flour, buckwheat, amaranth, and more. For protein you can drink soy milk, make a tofu scramble, or enjoy breakfast beans.
Healthy fat could be avocado on a whole wheat toast or in a plant-based breakfast burrito. It could also be nuts and seeds added to your breakfast oats.
Today’s whole food plant based recipes are not just vegan breakfast options. They also contain all whole foods, meaning no oils, sugar, processed food, or simple starches are added.
This is helpful if you want to enjoy the health benefits of the plant based diet or want to lose weight. Additionally, these healthy vegan breakfast options will give you lasting energy and more nutrients per calorie.
You’ve got options from vegan overnight oats, muffins, waffles, pancakes, granola, and porridge, to tofu scrambles, omelette, breakfast bowls, egg salad, and more. Find a delicious whole food plant based breakfast option that fits your taste and needs.
