I think I’m ready to give vegan a try, but I’m struggling with breakfast ideas. Mostly I’d meal prep egg and bacon burritos or just have some toast with jam.
I used to be a cereal person but after having my gallbladder removed I developed an intolerance to lactose. And I haven’t found any good alternatives for milk or cheese that I like, so I’ve basically cut them out of my diet. Plus most cereal is loaded with sugar, and…
I found out yesterday that I’m prediabetic and my cholesterol is a little high. So, I’m trying to move away from animal products and sugar.
I will occasionally have toast with peanut butter and banana on it, but that’s so calorie dense, I only eat it on days I know I’ll be doing a lot of physical activities. Most days I sit at a desk for 8-10 hours.
So really the only other thing I can think of is oatmeal. And eating a bowl full of something hot is the last thing I want to do after my morning walk. I’m in Texas so it’s hot even when I go out at 5 AM.
I’m looking for ideas that can, preferably, be meal prepped or take less than 5 minutes to make. But I’m open to any ideas. Thanks!
I go for musli on soy milk most of the days for a fast set of protein and fiber, you can go with a very low sugar level with that, and there are so lo-carb veriants usually. You can also make your own soy milk if you want to set it to your taste.
If youre fond of it you can make sceabled tofu (a’la egg), some ‘black salt’ will give it a familiar taste. Otherwise some veggie/seed paste and a slice of tofu work great for me. I stopped bothering with the highly processed vegan meet-like products, they cost a ton and you can make your own pastes easily.
