3 Easy Vegan Breakfasts {Video}
What to eat for breakfast? It’s one of the most challenging questions of the day. Most of us are strapped for time in the morning as we need to walk the dog, get the kids ready, get to work, etc, and these demands can make it hard for us to make a healthy breakfast choice. But, we all know that it’s so important to start off with a healthy meal, as it sets the tone for our day, and we don’t want any energy crashes coming later (looking at you, pancakes and pastries).
So, below I have a video of 3 easy breakfasts that are plant-based and easy to make the morning of or the night before.
Recipes:
Chocolate Cherry Smoothie:
1 serving
Ingredients:
1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or other plant-based milk)
2 cups raw spinach
1/2 teaspoon raw cacao powder
1/2 teaspoon natural peanut butter
1/2 cup frozen banana (peel banana, cut in half, wrap in plastic wrap and freeze for at least 12 hours)
1/2 cup frozen cherries (pitted)
Combine all ingredients in a powerful blender (I use a Vitamix and love it). Blend until smooth.
Overnight Oats
1 serving
Ingredients:
1/2 cup rolled oats
1 cup unsweetened plant-based milk (I use almond milk)
1 tbsp chia seeds
1/8 tsp
1 tsp shredded unsweetened coconut flakes (optional, avoid if struggling with weight loss)
2 tbsp raisins (optional, avoid if struggling with weight loss)
1/2 cup fresh fruit
Pour all ingredients into a mason jar except for fresh fruit to enjoy the next day. Note, if you don’t want to add the milk the night before you can wait until 30 minutes prior to eating to add it. Add fresh fruit right before serving.
Sweet Potato Bowl
2 serving
Ingredients:
1 sweet potato
1/4 cup plant-based milk
2 teaspoons all-natural peanut butter
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
fresh berries for the top
Stab sweet potato with a knife or fork 5 times. Then cook the sweet potato in the microwave on high for 5-10 minutes depending on how large the potato is. After the potato is cooked scrape out the potato into 1-cup portions. Then add the plant-based milk and toppings.
