Breakfast — the most important meal of the day. A meal synonymous with eggs, bacon, fluffy pancakes and avocado toast. But when it comes to eating vegan, the majority of those dishes won’t cut it. So what do you eat for breakfast on a plant-based diet? There are plenty of options from fruity smoothie bowls and overnight oats to a tasty tofu scramble. Here, we bring you some top vegan breakfast ideas, plus answer a few questions you may have about a plant-based vegan diet and this morning meal.

Your plant-based questions answered

Before we get to our favourite vegan breakfast recipes, let’s first answer some common questions.

Yes. Oatmeal, or porridge, is from oats, which are a grain. As long as it’s made with plant-based products, such as nut, oat, rice or soy milks, oatmeal is considered plant-based. Some prepackaged oatmeals, however, may have other ingredients added that aren’t considered suitable for vegans, such as dairy or honey. Always read product labels to ensure the product is right for your individual needs.
