Vegan Breakfast Bowl

March 31, 2018 Food

The perfect breakfast should contain good carbohydrates as they let your blood sugar level rise slowly and make you feel full for longer. Good carbohydrates include oats and wholemeal bread. Breakfast should also contain vitamins, from fruit or vegetables. Yoghurt and quark are high-value proteins that fill you up and give you energy. Nuts give your body valuable fats.

Savoury vegan breakfast bowl

The savoury variants of the vegan breakfast bowl can be made from various ingredients. They include tofu, chickpeas, avocado, nuts, wholewheat bread, mushrooms and salad, various vegetables and herbs. So there is a wide choice of ingredients and great combinations. And if breakfast to you means scrambled eggs, a vegan alternative is: scrambled tofu.

Ingredients:

Organic tofu
Onion
Vegetables of your choice
Salt and pepper
Turmeric and cardamom
fresh herbs (eg. parsley, coriander)

Fry the onions until translucent. Now add the vegetables and saute them lightly. Next put the tofu in a pan and break into small pieces. But don’t make it too small or the scrambled tofu will be too mushy. Finally add the herbs, spices, salt and pepper.
Garnish your breakfast bowl with an avocado and fresh salad.

Sweet vegan breakfast bowl

The sweet breakfast bowl can be prepared using a building block approach. So you can make it every day in different varied ways. Start by putting one ingredient from the first category into your bowl and add as many ingredients as you like from categories 2 and 3

1st category - the base: Pureed fruit and greens of your choice (a thick smoothie), oats, buckwheat, quinoa, amaranth, spelt, couscous, oatmeal or millet
2nd category- add: vegan yoghurt, milk alternative (soya, coconut or almond milk etc), nut butter
3rd category- toppings: fruit of your choice, dried fruits, nuts and seeds, superfoods, sweeteners

Example: Put oats and chia seeds into a bowl. Add cold water or a milk alternative. Enough to cover the oats and chia seeds. Mix it all and leave to stand for 5 minutes in the fridge. Meanwhile, cut your fruit and nuts into small pieces. Next, add it with a little soya yoghurt to the oats and mix everything together. Finally, decorate the breakfast bowl with fresh fruit of your choice.

I hope you enjoy trying it!
