We get a lot of requests to do more vegetarian and vegan recipes, but we also know they aren’t the most favored by all keto-ers. So, we went ahead and made a Vegan Protein Breakfastthat would satisfy vegans, vegetarians and meat eaters alike! It’s filled with nuts, nibs and hemp hearts all atop delicious, chocolate, protein packed…. tofu! Yes, I said tofu, and I’ll be honest, I was skeptical at first, but Matt made a believer out of me! Watch him make it below and give it a try at home. I dare you!
How To Make High Protein Vegetarian Meals?
Vegetarians may find it difficult to get a substantial amount of protein in compared to the average meat eater, but we want to let you know that there are plenty of great options! For instance, this recipe uses tofu to create the thick, smoothie like consistency, which is always a great go-to protein source. For vegetarians, eggs and cheese are also great sources of protein and for vegans, and all alike, there are many vegan protein powders that can provide you a good source of protein!
All Types Of Breakfast Bowls!
Bowls filled with different foods and toppings is one of my favorite ways to eat my meals, especially for breakfast! I enjoy starting my day off with a mix of foods to keep me satisfied and energized as I work until my next meal, and this bowl does just that! The protein from the tofu, and nuts, along with the crunch and different flavor profiles excites me to get up and get the day started. Other breakfast bowls you could make are our Mexican Breakfast Bowls, Keto Oatmeal, and Breakfast Skillet, but this vegan bowl has to be my favorite since it’s basically feels like eating dessert for breakfast!

Will you post a video for this?!
I just made it but i omitted the tofu and hemp hearts cause i dont like those. I also prefer sliced almonds over whole almond. I used the same Vega Protein and greens coconut almond flavor as well. It’s really good. Next time ill chill it and try it cold.
Sorry i forgot to add that i also omitted the stevia and used erythritol and i put shredded coconut in it
This is surprisingly good. Thanks.
Are the optional toppings included in the nutritional info?
Anything listed in the ingredients list of the recipe will be included in the nutrition info.
thanks for the recipe! What can I substitute the tofu with? I’m not vegan and my taste-buds are not kind with tofu flavor…
You can just omit it. It will change the texture slightly, but it’s not necessary for flavor.
Made it today and added half an avocado. I used yhe taw sprouted brown rice protein powder. It was delishe
What can be substituted for tofu?
Are you Keto, low carb or Vegan? It states a Keto site — The protein powder isn’t keto with pea and rice, tofu isn’t keto due to soy. It looks good but certainly shouldn’t be on here if you are Keto. Just saying there are conflicting recipes since your site is KETO Connect.
Sounds like the way you do keto is quite a bit stricter than us, which is fine. Hope you’re finding success.
Actually vegan protein powder is ok for keto. Its not the same as actually eating peas or rice. Even Dr. Eric Berg approves vegan protein powder
Just dropped by to say thank you for sharing this recipe, it’s a lifesaver on a busy morning and kids love this breakfast.
Made this today. Turned out well, Thanks
