15 Protein-Filled Vegan Breakfast Recipes

20 May, 2016 by Giselle Rochford 15 Comments

Since transitioning to a more plant-based diet, getting enough protein in my diet has been a bit of a struggle. I’m a lot better now, especially when it comes to lunch and dinner, but breakfast is still a huge problem for me. I adore sweet breakfasts like pancakes and waffles but they don’t usually contain a whole lot of protein.

So I turned to some of my fave blogger friends for inspiration and I decided to share some of the protein-filled vegan breakfast recipes I found.

I really wasn’t sure what I’d find when I set out on this quest for vegan breakfasts with protein, but I was definitely amazed at the number of creative ways other bloggers managed to do it.  I’ll be the first to admit that the healthy food blogging scene is fairly saturated. There are A LOT of bloggers popping up every day and sometimes it’s hard to find your place in this world. But what I love about blogging and doing these roundups, is that we all have our own things to offer.

Protein-filled vegan breakfast recipes aren’t really my thing, but there are other bloggers who excel at it and the fact that they’re willing to share that expertise makes me (and my tummy) happy AF.

But enough rambling. Let’s get into the roundup:

    Great article. This article is well written and I agree with everything you said. Having a healthy breakfast can change life so much. Thanks for the breakfast inspiration! I think breakfast is my absolute favorite too–I go to bed and think about what I will have too. I almost always go sweet for breakfast but sometimes love some savory—especially like on the weekends!

    Extraordinary article. This article is elegantly composed and I concur with all that you said. Having a solid breakfast can change life to such an extent. Much obliged for the morning meal motivation! I think breakfast is my supreme most loved too–I hit the sack and consider what I will have as well. I quite often go sweet for breakfast however once in a while love some flavorful—particularly like on the ends of the week

    Thank you for all of these fantastic breakfast ideas. I’ve been looking for vegan meals for my daughter as she is looking to eat more plant based options. I love that breaskfast taco – my daughter will love that i am sure.
    I really think it is important to get in some protein in the morning to have enough energy for the day ahead.
    We are also huge fans of smoothies, so we will try those out!

    It’s good to know that you’re able to transition to a more plant-based diet. I’m really tired of having eggs and bacon for breakfast when I feel like there are better options. Aside from trying your recipes, it might also be a good idea to find a restaurant that serves organic meals where I can dine in.

    If you are diet conscious and you are trying to lose weight. The first and the last

    thing is that eat a balanced breakfast. Because breakfast is very essential for

    normal health. And if we are eating a balanced breakfast then we will lose

    weight
