If you have consumed animal protein all your life, it is normal that starting a vegetarian or vegan diet can be difficult at first. However, you don't have to change overnight, and you can cut out animal protein at certain meals throughout the week. Today we encourage you to start with breakfast with some delicious vegan breakfast options.

What is true is that many of us (and especially our planet) would benefit from a plant-based diet. I mean a diet based on more plant-based productswithout having to eliminate those of animal origin. Small steps can be taken, and one of the easiest, most practical and effective ways to achieve this is to start the day with a plant-based breakfast at least 5 times a week.

I know what you're thinking, what am I going to do without my ham, my yoghurt or my eggs? my eggs?

We present you different vegan breakfast options that will satiate you, and that will make you start the day in a healthy and delicious way.

Vegan breakfasts

  • Wholemeal bread (check the ingredients for wholemeal wheat or wholemeal spelt or rye flour), with a nut butter (peanuts or almonds for example), with avocado.
  • Vegetable milk (soy or oat) with oat flakes, nuts, and a square of dark chocolate (minimum 70%).
  • A bowl of fruit, peanut butter and wholemeal toast with hummus.
  • Vegan pancakes: oat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, banana, soya milk and extra virgin olive oil. All mixed together and into the pan!
  • Vegetarian smoothie with fruit, vegan protein, soy yoghurt and chia. See recipes
  • Chia and oat pudding. See recipe

To all of these options you can add brewer's yeast, wheat germ or seeds such as hemp, chia or sesame to seeds such as hemp, chia or sesame seeds to increase protein intake. protein.

Good for you, good for your body

It is true that compared to classic breakfasts, these vegan breakfasts have less protein, however, have much more fibre and real food. The argument that we need protein at every meal is wrong, we need to fill our requirement, however, we can get it throughout the day.

Most of us who are not vegetarians or vegans consume enough protein, but do not get enough of the nutrients provided by plant-based foods, such as magnesium, potassium and fibre.

This is not to say that you can never have cow's milk or eggs for breakfast again, I just encourage you to start choosing plant-based foods. It's a valuable exercise to start cutting back on animal protein, and it really means something for the planet.

I hope this idea will encourage you to have a healthier breakfast!
