Better than Bacon and Eggs

A typical breakfast for me is either a yummy fruit smoothie, or some granola and almond milk... but every once in a while my body just wants a nice hearty breakfast!  

In transitioning my diet, a common breakfast of mine was egg whites and Morningstar Farm's Veggie Bacon.  However, this is not vegan, so I decided to test out this tempeh Fakin Bacon. It was yummy, crunchy, smokey, and delicious!  

Now for the egg whites... I initially gave up egg yolks because of the cholesterol, but then I did a little research and I don't really have a desire to eat eggs ever again unless I am the one raising the hen and controlling her living conditions.

Now, back to my meal.  A great way to "fake" the flavor and texture of egg whites is to slice tofu and sauté the slices in a pan.  Just cook a couple minutes on each side season with whatever you'd put on your eggs (I used salt, pepper, and of course nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor).

One thing that I think is missing from everyone's breakfast plate in America is some veggies!  We should be eating veggies at every meal... they're the best thing for us!  To incorporate veggies into my breakfast, I sauteed some Kale in a little grapeseed oil with red pepper flakes, and then cooked it down with a little vegetable stock.  Just season and top with your tofu slices and you've got a delicious, healthy, Better than Bacon and Eggs breakfast!
