Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and getting it right is very important. You need to have a healthy and tasty meal that will set your mood right and give you the energy you need to face the day. A plant-based diet is healthy and reduces your risk of being affected by some diseases like obesity and diabetes. If this is your chosen lifestyle, you may find yourself eating the same thing over and over again. This should not be the case. Here are a few plant-based breakfast ideas you could try out.
Omelet or scrambled eggs
Combine your favourite vegetables with an egg and make the best omelet or scrambled egg. You will get to have both proteins and vegetable uptake in one dish. You could use any vegetables of your choice such as peppers, tomatoes, zucchini, onions, etc. Mix everything together and fry to make a tantalizing omelet. Also take a slice of whole wheat bread and have a fully balanced dish. If you would rather go eggless, just replace the egg with chickpea flour then add some yeast and preferred flavours.
Pancakes
Use whole wheat to make delicious pancakes that you can flavour just how you like. You may make chocolate pancakes, opt for a cinnamon flavour or add some flaxseeds or oats. Either way, whole wheat pancakes are delicious and gluten-free. You may top them up with some fresh fruits like bananas, raspberries or strawberries. Dig in and enjoy!
Coffee with Soy Milk
Nothing like a cup of coffee to brighten your morning and keep active throughout the day! Having black coffee every day can be monotonous and boring. Even when you are on a plant-based diet you can enjoy a creamy cup of coffee. How? Use soy milk instead of regular cow milk. This will add a protein component to your cup and make it more delicious. Use this original soy coffee creamer for a rich and creamy effect. Just stir in the creamer and enjoy the smooth and sweet taste. You may also use other creamers that come in various flavours including oats and coconut.
Overnight Oats
This is an easy breakfast you make the night before and you can have it quickly in the morning. To prepare this, mix oats with milk or its alternative, water, maple syrup, chia seeds and cinnamon. Mix everything together in a mason jar and keep refrigerated overnight. You may add fresh fruits in the morning before having it.
Fruit salad
Anytime is a good time to have a fruit salad. It is delicious and fresh. Just mix the fruits you love in a bowl and dig in. It is so easy and fast to prepare. Just peel and chop the fruits.
There are many plant based breakfast options. Stay healthy and have fun meals while doing it. Just be conscious of the ingredients you put in your food. You could even have a smoothie of choice. Just replace the regular cow milk with soy milk, oat milk or almond milk and make a smoothie using your favourite fruits.
