12 Plant Based Breakfast Ideas

The Easiest Way to Eat a Healthy Plant Based Breakfast

Why it's Time to Jazz Up your Plant Based Breakfast Game

When you're new to a whole food plant-based lifestyle, it's easy to fall into the routine of smearing peanut butter on your toast as you head out the door every morning. But you're doing yourself a disservice, trust us. There's so much more vegan breakfast options out there for you! These plant based recipes for breakfast will blow you out of the water.

So how can you jazz up your plant based breakfast game?

The first thing to do is zero in on what you liked before going plant-based. From there you can focus on the whole food plant based diet breakfast ideas that best fit your taste preferences.

Do you like savory? Are you a sweets in the morning person? Maybe you crave fats first thing, or perhaps something a bit lighter? Start there and build your plant based breakfast on those preferences.

Are big breakfasts healthy?

Just remember, when you're eating a whole food plant based diet it's okay to fill the tank, even when you're trying to lose weight! Plant-based foods are often nutrient dense —high in nutrients, relatively low in calories. And it's a good idea to start the day off with a satisfying, hearty meal to prevent mid-morning hunger and junk food cravings. And don't worry, these vegan breakfasts are quite satisfying.

That said, go with what feels right for you. If big breakfasts don't do it for you, that's OK! Eat until you're satisfied, whether it's your plant based breakfast or your snacktime.

15 Plant Based Breakfast Ideas

So...what exactly do vegans eat for breakfast? Here are 12 of our favorite plant based breakfast ideas. They're all easy, quick, and absolutely delicious!

1. Vegan Chocolate Peanut Butter Shake

Let's start with a MamaSezz team favorite: a super simple, thick and creamy, oh-so-dreamy, chocolate peanut butter shake. A milkshake for breakfast? Yep! No dairy, no refined sugar means you can  drink this vegan chocolate peanut butter shake for breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, or as a hearty snack. WHATEVER!

2. Dairy-Free Chia Seed Pudding

Chia seeds are in and while not all superfoods are worth the hype, these little seeds are FULL of nutrients, like fiber, protein, magnesium, and B vitamins, which can all help you feel and look your best. But how do you use chia seeds in your plant based breakfast recipes? Make this decadent overnight chia pudding . Tasty down to the last spoonful. Another great recipe for those  who prefer something sweet in the morning — and even better if you're someone who need to eat on the go.
