Easy, Healthy Vegan Breakfast

September is Better Breakfast Month! But let’s face it: most of us don’t have time for preparing a big, elaborate breakfast like our grandmas used to. More often than not, we actually skip breakfast–the most important meal of the day. Today, I’m giving you some recipes and ideas for quick, easy, healthy, and nutritious vegan breakfasts that are achievable every day of the week.

Healthy vegan breakfast options

A lot of this can be prepared ahead of time. I like to store roasted vegetables, tofu eggs, and pre-cooked rice and beans in glass containers in the refrigerator. That way, everything you need is right there waiting for you. Simply reheat and enjoy your easy, healthy vegan breakfast! 🌱

• Granola
• Smoothies
• Avocado toast
  • Top with lentils for added protein
• Peanut butter toast
• Tofu eggs
• Tofu egg scramble
• Chickpea flour omelette
  • Add a wide variety of roasted vegetables (you can do this ahead of time, in large batches)
• Citrus Salad with Coconut
• Smoothie Bowls
• Acai Bowls
• Oatmeal with fruit
• Slow cooker oatmeal
• Slow cooker overnight quinoa
• Blueberry Bran Muffins
  • Do some vegan baking on the weekend, and your breakfast is set for the week! I like to freeze muffins and pull them out one at a time as needed.
• Breakfast Skillet
  • This can also be made ahead of time and warmed up in the morning.

Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie

Smoothies are really simple. (And a great way to pack a ton of fruits and veggies into your morning routine!) Just toss everything in a blender and you’re done! I like to keep my freezer stocked with a variety of organic frozen fruits for smoothies. 🌱

You can also get really creative with smoothies: any kind of fruit, kale, spinach, celery, cucumber, chia seeds, flax seeds, hemp seeds, nuts, cacao nibs–the possibilities are endless!

Overnight Oats

I made a few tweaks to the original recipes to experiment a little bit, and they all turned out well.

Apple Cinnamon

Made with soy milk, flaxseed, and quick oats. Topped with gogi berries.

Strawberry Blueberry

Made with cashew milk, flaxseed, and almond extract. Topped with berries and pumpkin seeds.

Peanut Butter & Jelly

Made with soy milk and chia seeds. Topped with fresh raspberries, banana, and cacao nibs.

Breakfast Burrito

I like to make breakfast burritos the morning after having burrito bowls for dinner. They’re so easy! Make your tofu eggs, then add the premade rice or quinoa, beans, and roasted veggies from the night before. Top with tomatoes, guacamole, and cashew queso, and you’ve got a simple, delicious, hearty breakfast! 😋

Acai Bowl

Acai berries are a superfruit, packed full of antioxidants, vitamins, and nutrients. Because of their short shelf life, they are only sold fresh where they are grown. Otherwise, you can purchase acai as a frozen puree, dried powder, or pressed juice.

I combined the recipes of the acai bowl and smoothie bowl below.

Smoothie Bowls

The latest trend in breakfast, smoothie bowls are not only delicious, but beautifully presented as well. But let’s be real–no one has time for this on a busy morning; this is more of a relaxing Saturday morning treat. 😊

Get creative with your breakfast toppings–the possibilities are endless! I used fresh strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries, chia seeds, pistachios, hemp seeds, chopped pecans, gogi berries, and cacao nibs. Seriously delicious! 🙌
