Vegan Tofu Scramble

Coming up with healthy, filling and fueling breakfast recipes every day can be a challenge (though here’s my favorite breakfast ideas for toddlers!). and while this vegan tofu scramble takes a few more minutes than your average omelet, it’s worth making on a weekend when you have more time.

Getting in protein for the first meal of the day can be a struggle for some. Personally, I would live off of egg is I could.
This healthy breakfast scramble not only gives you a protein hit first thing in the morning to help keep you full, but it also loads you up on veggies!

This vegan tofu scramble is filled with healthy, real-food ingredients guaranteed to wake you up (your flavor profile at least!) and set you up for the day.
In an ideal world, all my scrambles would contain cheese of some sort. However, seeing as I’m dairy free that’s not exactly possible (ha!).

To curb that though, I like adding in Nutritional yeast to anything that requires a cheese flavor. If you’ve never used these little flakes before you’re in for a treat!

Nutritional yeast has a cheesy, nutty flavor which makes it great to add into healthy scramble recipes, omelets or vegan mac and cheese dishes. I also love it because it also contains a decent amount of protein and B vitamins – two things many people end up low in.

For this vegan tofu scramble it not only gives the dish a great taste, but it also adds in some nutrients we tend to overlook when rocking vegan meals.

I’ve been making more and more scrambles lately, but the truth is, it took me a long time to love tofu ones. One thing to note is that tofu takes on whatever flavor you pair with it. So, a bland dish is going to be made even more mediocre with tofu.

This vegan breakfast scramble recipe uses quite a few tasty spices (read all about the health benefits of turmeric) and the salsa gives it a bit more.

For me, scrambles aren’t complete if not topped with avocado. But salsa, and kimchi work too- you do you.

Use this tofu scramble recipes for a super healthy weekend brunch or whip it up the night before and just reheat on a busy breakfast morning. Either way, it’s loaded with flavor, healthy ingredients and it’ll keep you full until your next snack!
