Today I have a vegan breakfast recipe for you that will not only fill you up, but also provide you with really good nutrients: my hearty vegan breakfast burritos. They are perfect if you prefer something warm and hearty in the morning – and want to eat healthy and purely plant-based at the same time.
The combination of crispy fried potatoes, creamy scrambled tofu and scrambled tofu, fresh spinach, juicy tomatoes and a spicy sauce make these vegan burritos a real breakfast highlight.
Why these vegan breakfast burritos are perfect for a healthy start to the day
I developed this recipe for you because it’s ideal for starting the day full of energy.
Here are a few reasons why it’s so healthy:
- Tofu is an excellent source of plant-based protein, rich in iron and calcium, supports your muscles and bones and keeps you full for a long time.
- Potatoes provide complex carbohydrates for sustained energy and are rich in minerals such as potassium.
- Spinach and tomatoes add an extra portion of vitamins, antioxidants and freshness to the recipe.
- Everything together makes a healthy meal prep breakfast that you can enjoy at home or take with you on the go.
Tip: You can also prepare the burritos, freeze them and reheat them quickly when needed – so you always have a delicious vegan breakfast to go.
If you want to use frozen spinach, defrost it completely beforehand, squeeze out any excess water and roughly chop the spinach leaves. This will keep the filling nice and juicy without it becoming watery.
