English Breakfast

When I first transitioned to a vegan meal plan, one of the most challenging parts was figuring out what the heck to eat for breakfast. Eggs are out. And you won’t find cream cheese, milk, bacon or sausage in the fridge. What’s left? As it turns out, there are a ton of yummy foods left on the table (no pun intended) that you can combine to build a balanced, nutritious, and oh-so-delicious meal to start your day. One of my favorite ways to make sure I load up on healthy food first thing in the A.M. is to build a vegan breakfast bowl packed with fruits, nuts, grains, and bonus add-ins like cinnamon and flax meal. The best part: You can throw a vegan breakfast bowl together in a matter of seconds. You heard me – seconds. So, here we go. Start brewing your coffee. Let’s build a vegan breakfast bowl.

Mix and match your favorite fruits, grains, nuts, and extras to build a custom vegan breakfast bowl exactly to your liking.

Vegan Breakfast Bowl Time Savers

Now that we’ve covered the basics, let’s tackle those time-sucking tasks that nobody has time for in the morning.

Prep your fruit: Okay, it doesn’t take that long to cut up fresh fruit. But it is one less thing to worry about if you do it beforehand. Keep sliced strawberries in a Tupperware with fresh blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries so you can easily toss a handful into your vegan breakfast bowl. If you’re in a time crunch, dried cranberries and dried apricots are delicious options for getting a morning fiber boost.
