Tofu Scramble

I love starting my day with a protein-packed breakfast like this tofu scramble! It’s energizing, flavorful, and satisfying, the sort of thing that’s guaranteed to keep me full till lunch. I think you’ll love this recipe if you’re vegan – it’s quick and easy, it’s high in protein, and it’s a great savory option given how many vegan breakfast recipes are sweet. But even if you’re not vegan, I hope you’ll give it a try.

Thanks to spices, nutritional yeast, and a dash of Dijon mustard, this tofu scramble recipe is packed with flavor. Instead of thinking of it as a vegan version of scrambled eggs, I encourage you to enjoy it as a yummy breakfast in its own right. It’s a great way to change things up if you’re stuck in an egg rut (anyone else?), and it’s so tasty that it’s worth making even if you’re not. Dress it up with salsa, sliced avocado, and whatever veggies you like for a fun, flavorful breakfast!
