In my series called Five Weeks of Flexitarian Eating I have a post which points out at some point, we plant loving omnivores have to decide how to deal with eggs and dairy. It can be a stumbling point for many people, especially those of us who eat one or both as part of their morning meal. For those who are apprehensive about it, here is a collection of over 100 flexitarian breakfast recipes that are egg and dairy free. You will be surprised by how many options are available!
Flexitarian Breakfast Scrambles
These breakfasts use tofu, beans or flour to make something surprisingly similar to the standard scrambled eggs. They’re loaded with protein to keep you full until lunch (or second breakfast, if you’re into that.) They’d also make a nice lunch or light dinner.
