Favorite vegan breakfast?

[Purple]

we've just started making banana smoothies with soya milk..bananas..erm..that's it really

suppose i could add extra stuff to make it more nutrient dense (nutrient dense sounds really grown up..hurrr!)

Good girl It's great isn't it! My gf told me to add cinnamon - seriously, try it. It's *amazing*



oh. and I usually have that Nature's Path millet rice with soya milk - http://www.goodnessdirect.co.uk/cgi-...il/603346.html

YUM!

For a change, or after a night of drinking, I do a little Vegan fry up.

Whole Earth organic baked beans - http://www.goodnessdirect.co.uk/cgi-...il/494222.html

Fried organic mushrooms (the waitrose ones are great, literally half a box)

2 or 3 slices of Rosissky rye bread (toasted) http://www.village-bakery.com/index....mart&Itemid=45

2 or 3 soysages


What do you other guys do with fry-ups? What am I missing... anyone had scrambled tofu instead of egg, and how does that come out? I'm a little bit dubious.

For the last couple weeks I've been eating blueberry pancakes nearly every morning. Truly the breakfast of champions.

I've been having Orgran's - buckwheat pancake mix (except I add a lot more water to make crepe style).

SpaceMonkey: We have the pancakes with blueberries, sliced bananas, a dollop of soya yogurt, and some agave nectar. OH. MY. WORD. it's awesome ;D

(sorry to double post)

Hi! I am a young vegan. (13) I usually don't eat breakfast never have......... But my favorite lunch. Is avocado rolls. Whitch I ALWAYS get if I'm at a japanese restaraunt. And my local grocery store has them in there sushi section. I've got lunch covered.....But what do you guys like for dinner?

I like to make a simple soup with Vegetarian "Chicken" soup base (from our favorite Asian shop), noodles and tofu. Or I'll have Weetabix with soy yogurt, black sesame seeds and a little rice milk.

we've just started making banana smoothies with soya milk..bananas..erm..that's it really

suppose i could add extra stuff to make it more nutrient dense (nutrient dense sounds really grown up..hurrr!)

i like to put ground flaxseed in banana smoothies.

[Enchantress]

I had some porridge with sultanas (I think they were sultanas) and maple syrup, cooked for me by the lovely Mr Stu, on Tuesday, which was very nice. It was the first time I'd had maple syrup.

Yesterday I had a big bowl of cornflakes with soya milk, soya yogurt, sliced banana, agave nectar and ground flaxseed. I didn't have it at breakfast time, but it was very tasty and I figured it would be a good thing to have for breakfast.

[emmapresley]

i can't believe i never thought of trying cinammon in the smoothie..i do love cinammon and bung it in all sorts of other stuff..so will try that..ta! also heard that (good) peanut butter is ace in smoothies..

is ground flaxseed the same as flax seeds that you grind up in a pestle and mortar? (apologies if that sounds a little gormless..i have tried grinding them up but it didn't seem to make loads of difference??)

this last week fro breakfast weve just been utterly gorging on these amazing clementines i found on the market..can't get enough of them!

[Gorilla]

i buy pre-ground flaxseed from health food shops. i think if you do it yourself it's best done in a coffee grinder.

[emmapresley]

i did try to grind the ones i got..but my coffee grinder is a great hulking turn-the-handle thing and the teeny seeds just fell out of the bottom.

i do have a tablespoon flax oil daily (which tastes pretty manky imo)..tend to sprinkle the seeds on salad or on top of other food

[Gorilla]

i hate flax oil, i prefer the ground seeds because i think it tastes kind of nutty and make a nice addition to a smoothie. i tried putting it on cereal though and it soaked up all my milk

[emmapresley]

it's fishy and nutty and evilly claggy..I'm not impresed with the taste at all..but i reckon a tablespoon of it while i have my nose pinched so i can't taste it isn't too bad once a day..I'll have a look for the ground seeds tho..thanks gorilla

[foxytina_69]

today for breakfast i made pancakes (plain and some with chocolate chips), tofu scramble, and hashbrowns. yummmmm.

[pavotrouge]

At the moment, I'm also addicted to porridge with different kinds of dried fruit, especially figs!

[catala]

MMM... some toast with spread avocado, scrambled tofu with bread crumbs and turmeric and beans on top mmm... with a good vegetable juice; sweet potato, pepper, carrot and brokoli, delicious!!

[sprite1986]

and you make that all for breakfast?! Bloody hell!


I don't think I would have ever thought of combining avocado, and baked beans, let alone all of that with turmeric! But I presume it's nice.. so I might try it at some point!

[catala]

hahahahaha!! I have that breakfast only on sundays.
Let me tell you how I make it.
Get some bread, toast it, get some avocado, scoop the flesh out and spread it on the toasted bread.
Aside, get some tofu (smoked or plain) and mush it up with some bread crumbs using a fork,fry it like a scrambled egg afterwards, add the turmeric ( I think it's called turmeric! it's a yellow powder mainly used for curries) until it gets a yellow colour.
Put the "scrumbled egg" on the bread and the beans (previoulsy warmed up) on top... try it! tell me if you enjoyed it!

[Magic_Alex]

Ooooh yum
Personally, I like nothing beter than beans on toast and a good brew. But, deary me, smoothies are just heaven-sent, arnet they?!

[catala]

They are indeed.
In fact, smoothies are my daily breakfast. Pure sunshine for my body!

[emmydu]

cereal, chocolate chip waffles, anything tasty really. =]

[scarlett]

I usually just have cereal with alpro yoghurt but after reading this thread I may be more adventurous in the mornings

[pavotrouge]

It's almost impossible to get smoothies over here and I don't manage do make them myself (damn cheap blender).

Recently I've been hooked on VwaV Coconut Pancakes.

[Quincy]

either homemade pancakes or "french toast". I think my french toast comes out better than the pancakes, but I REALLY like both!

[paradoxsund]

ooo smoothies are awesome, but i usually don't have them for breakfast because i don't want my flatmates to wake up on account of the blender...i think my favorite breakfast either granola with lots of dried fruit, or tofu and veggies and toast =D i'll have to try that recipe, catala!

[rrochester]

i love scrambled tofu with veggies and i use ketchup too

[hollybee]

I've been making smoothies with seaweed (I was having some problems with chills and night sweats until I started eating seaweed again), banana and whatever leftover vegetables I can find.

[Yoggy]

I'm hoping that these Vegan Crepes will be my new favourite breakfast food. I'll let you know next weekend after I've tried them

[Cherry]

Depends what mood I'm in. I like pancakes with maple syrup and fruit for a sweet breakfast, muesli and soya milk for a light summer breakfast, or veggie bacon, sausage, fried potato cubes, scrambled tofu, tomatoes and sweetcorn fritters for a proper fry-up!

[Kiran]

My usual is ....

Two monster sized toasts. One with Peanut butter and Jam and the other with hummus
Mushrooms fried with garlic paste
One fried tomato
Two sausages
Coffee

Well thats pretty much it..

[Yoggy]

Is your fried tomato green? (Sorry, couldn't resist )

[nunya515]

vegan pncakes with unsalted organic peanut butter and real maple syrup.

or soy yogurt with blueberries and granola

[puffin]

My usual is ....

Two monster sized toasts. One with Peanut butter and Jam and the other with hummus
Mushrooms fried with garlic paste
One fried tomato
Two sausages
Coffee

Well thats pretty much it..

All that for breakfast, im inviting myself around.

Im loving oats with soya milk. I used to hate them but really liked the look of the dorset one. It was really nice but quite sweet so i am now eating some plain organic oats with some organic strawberry jam, YUM.....

[sandra]

I love those Dorset cereals Puffin!

[puffin]

Yes they are good. Im just trying to keep the cals down at the moment though so keeping it simple and boring Dried fruit adds quite a few cals I did make some banana and choc chip muffins today though

[sandra]

Oh Puffin............I want some of them!

[Gorilla]

oooh me too

[Mermaid07]

either homemade pancakes or "french toast". I think my french toast comes out better than the pancakes, but I REALLY like both!

HEy Quincy what is your recipe and what kind of bread do you use? I used regular sliced whole wheat and it came out awful. The bread was not getting crispy!

[fiamma]

A good tip is to use bread that's a bit stale, or lightly toast it. Also cover it while it's cooking and leave it to sit for quite a while, it firms up that way. I had a real disaster the first time I made it

[VeggieFrank]

my better half makes the most amazing pancakes + maple syrup = crazy delicious.

[Justin]

beans on toast, I do what has been described as a 'gourmet' version

[absentmindedfan]

How is it gourmet? I'm intrigued

[Justin]

I mold the beans into faux escargot shapes?

[RachelJune]

Today I tried out the recipe suggestion on the back on the GranoVita Organic Quinoa packs. It's simple, delicious, and very healthy.

1/2 cup quinoa
1 cup orange juice
Dried fruit
Lemon juice
Olive oil

Simply heat the oil, add the lemon juice and quinoa and saute for a few mins, then add the fruit and stir to coat. Finally add the orange juice and let it soak for a while until all absorbed.

I used sultanas, goji berries and cashew nuts, and a touch of mixed spices to complement the orange. This is a nice breakfast for those with a sweet tooth

[MarkAnthony]

My usual breakfast these days is either muesli with soya milk or porridge made with soya milk (or chocolate cake...ahem). I'm also extremely partial to a vegan fry up of Redwood's bacon and sausages, scrambled tofu, beans, toast....well, you get the idea.

[cheeky_b]

Hey, a newcomer here.

My fav breakfast now is Granovita's horse radish, red beans or whichever (they're all so good) on a few pieces of bread with coffee w/ soy/rice/oat milk. Just great

[pavotrouge]

Welcome cheeky_b!

I've recently grown to love rice soup of any variety...I love warm breakfast, but don't like getting up early to prepara it.

[Melanie]

I'm absolute RUBBISH in the mornings So my ideal breakfast would be a vegan fry up -wistful sigh-
For the moment it looks to be a banana :/

~xx

[Tigerlily]

I made this yesterday...

I spread some almond butter on a corn tortilla and then mashed a banana. I then folded it in half. So yummy!

[foxytina_69]

yum tigerlily. that sounds creative AND delicious.

lately my "breakfast" (i dont wake up early, i sleep in really late but i guess its still breakfast) has been natures path mesa sunrise cereal w/ soy milk and fruit, or just fruit.

[coconut]

This morning I made raspberry pancakes and they turned out quite well. I mixed with raspberries into the batter. When they were cooked I added some maple syrup and it was like eating a cake

I spread some almond butter on a corn tortilla and then mashed a banana. I then folded it in half. So yummy!

That sounds lovely! I'll have to give that one a try.

[tofutofu]

Mmm that does sound nice! i think though my favourite breakfast is multigrain porridge using soya milk. I freshly grind oat groats, quinoa and amaranth and use that for the porridge and i also add oatbran. So delicious!! ;D

[vegfairy]

I'm lazy in the mornings too so I usually have some warm or cold muesli with soy milk (cold) or water if I'm warming it up to make it more of an oatmeal type texture. Or half a bagel with fruit spread on it.

When I had lots of time on my hands (younger with no responsibilities lol) I would make these awesome vegan pancakes..and vegan chocolate brownies and pumpkin muffins. I need to start cooking again.
