5 X Vegan breakfast recipes for the best start to your day
When you eat vegan, breakfast consists of different products and ingredients. A vegan breakfast is completely plant-based and therefore does not contain animal ingredients/products such as a well-filled omelet or dairy products. But fortunately, there are plenty of alternatives to still put a tasty and healthy breakfast on the table. Just make sure your breakfast consists of enough protein, fats and fiber. For example, choose whole grain cereals, plant-based yogurt, a vegan protein shake, nuts or avocado.
