2 Ways to Make a Healthy and Satisfying Breakfast without Eggs

Prep Time 5 minutes | Total Time 15 minutes

 Breakfast is probably my favorite meal of the day. I love having a leisurely breakfast over a delicious cup of coffee.

Sometimes it can feel challenging to find a filling and delicious vegan breakfast idea, especially one that is worthy of company. In this recipe I will show you two different ways to make an avocado toast. The first recipe is a healthy plant based breakfast loaded with nutrients, vitamins, and plant based protein.

The second is a more decadent and rich avocado toast inspired by my Lebanese heritage. It you have been wanting to try za’atar, the traditional Arabic spice blend this is a great way to try it out.

Both recipes are quick and easy meals perfect for those looking for a healthy breakfast option without eggs.

Ingredients

For the More Decadent Avocado Toast

• A good quality fresh bread - I used ciabatta for this but any fresh or delicious bread works great

Notes and Adjustments:

• There is such a thing as healthy bread. For healthy bread you want it to have only a few ingredients and check that the first 2-3 ingredients are whole grains, like whole wheat flour, whole barley flour, or whole oat flour. You also want it to have a good amount of protein and fiber, and a low fat and sodium content. I eat Ezekiel bread every day and if you make version one of this toast it has 15-20 grams of plant based protein!

• Don’t be afraid to mix it up, if you don’t love tomatoes try diced red peppers or radishes, if you don’t have microgreens add just a touch of diced red or green leaf lettuce or sprouts.
