Almonds soaked overnight in water. Preferably for soaked in water for 8 hours. As part of the paleo diet format, a count of 100 almonds first thing in the morning is a healthy and rich breakfast to charge you up for the day
A vegan, grain free and high in protein breakfast that I like is a tofu scramble which has a third to a half sized portion of extra firm tofu, boiled potatoes, red onions, and kale. The spices are cumin, garlic, tumiric, chili powder, and table salt and you will need a little bit of water. Use the spices and water to make a sauce and use a paper towel to draw out any moisture that is in the tofu. Then, with a fork cut the tofu up into a scrambled egg texture. Heat up a little olive oil in a pan on medium heat and add in your red onions and potatoes and let them cook for about 5 minutes or until the onion is starting to look translucent and the potatoes are Browning. Then add the kale and add a pinch of sea salt, put in the tofu and let that get a little crispy on the outside then add the sauce and then your done! I’m not personally vegan but I do have this sometimes and it is amazing! I hope you enjoy it!
There are definitely some high protein options for vegans excluding grains. Depending on how light your breakfast is, try making a breakfast bowl with a few of your favorite sliced fruits and nuts, which are a good source of protein. Vegan smoothies can be made with nut butter (such as almond) or milk substitutes reinforced with added protein. There is also Vega One, a supplement powder that is made with plant-based proteins though it tends to be on the expensive side to buy. Try researching some recipes for raw vegans — the raw movement might have more options for you. I hope that helps!
Lentils are great! They’re high in protein (9g/100g) and contain a lot of iron(18% of daily value/100g). They’re also quite cheap and easy to "prepare", you buy them dried, and all you have to do is let them soak in hot water for a few minutes. Add some spice and olive oil and you have a great breakfast - a fatty breakfast keeps you full for longer and greatly reduces stress and anxiety throughout the day. I keep lentils, some spices and olive oil in my locker at university. Should work for breakfast too (:
What about banana with peanut butter! You can slice two bananas and mix them with two tablespoons of peanut butter. Add some vanilla. Taste ! Here , you’ll find great vegan breakfast recipes https://yurielkaim.com/vegan-breakfasts/ Have a nice breakfast ! ;-)
Hi! I’m not total vegan, but have reduced my meat consumption. I drink a raw protein and greens shake in the morning and that carries me through lunch. I use Garden of Life shake mix. It does contain grains, but they may have non-grain products. Hope that helps you!
Steel cut oats are great! I make a large batch so I can reheat throughout the week. I cook mine with 1 cup almond milk & 3 cups water, the almond milk makes them creamier. Top with berries, and even stir in ground flax seed. 1 cup dry oats + 4 cups liquid makes enough for 4-5 breakfasts. It’s filling and delicious!
I think you should try to get eggs and oats for breakfast, they are rich with protein, vitamins, minerals and also perfect source for carbs
Lentils or chickpeas!
Sometimes I eat: Nuts with coconut milk yogurt; green smoothie with 1tbsp flaxseed and 1tbsp chia seeds or a breakfast quinoa with fruits and nuts
