Plant-Based Breakfast Recipes
After a good night’s sleep, how do you want to satisfy that first signal of hunger in the morning? Maybe you need something quick, something to get your blood flowing or maybe something more substantial. Whichever you’re in the mood for, the recipes here can help you. And remember, there’s no rule that says breakfast recipes can only be eaten for breakfast.
Cider-Steamed Swiss Chard
The sweetness of the apple cider juxtaposed with the saltiness of the Swiss chard makes this dish phenomenal.
Banana and Flaxseed Polenta
This dish can be served hot as a breakfast item or as a dessert.
Breakfast Potatoes
This is a wholesome alternative to the greasy fried and overly salted potato dishes often served at breakfast time. This dish can be prepared ahead of time, so all you need to do is bake it before serving.
Banana-Pecan Bars
Steel-cut oats, which are denser and take longer to cook than rolled oats, give these bars a hearty, chewy texture. I recommend cooking and chilling the oatmeal the night before you want to make Banana-Pecan Bars for breakfast.
Raisin-Cinnamon Oatmeal
This delicious breakfast is quick and easy to make and provides all of the heart-healthy benefits of oats without any of the artificial ingredients or sugar found in refined cereals. I suggest a few flavorful variations, but it’s easy to create your own.
Mango-Papaya Smoothie
The tropical flavor of this smoothie reminds me of a white sandy beach on a sunny day. What a great way to start the day!
Banana-Kale Smoothie
The first time I tried this recipe, I thought the kale would overpower the other ingredients and give the smoothie a bitter taste. That’s not how it turned out, however. This smoothie has a sweet and pleasant flavor.
