What do vegans eat for breakfast? This is one of the common question I often hear. Especially for a weekend brunch. What can you serve that is special? Here is my favorite way to make breakfast potatoes or home fries with no oil. I add fresh veggies such as greens or mushrooms and zucchini to make a flavorful dish you’ll love. Top with avocado slices and/or cashew sour cream or vegan yogurt to give it a more creamy (i.e. fatty) mouth feel. You can serve this dish with with tofu scramble, tempeh bacon fruit salad etc.
Eating plant-based, vegan, healthy or oil-free doesn’t have to mean giving up all the foods you love. Did you know you can sauté with just water or broth? We aim to eat as little oil as possible. I find that eliminating the oil from my diet has been the piece that has helped me lose the last stubborn pounds and reshape my mid-section.

Yummy! All I did differently was add leeks and a touch of maple syrup. 😋
That sounds delicious!
