Egg-cellent Tofu Scramble

A staple for any vegan breakfast is tofu scramble. An innovative and incredible replacement for scrambled eggs. It’s warm, fluffy, delicious, nutritious, and packed with protein to keep you full for hours. If you’ve never had tofu scramble, we promise you’ll be hooked. You can eat it as its own dish, on toast, with potatoes or hashbrowns, or however else you prefer your “eggs”!

Great for breakfast sandwiches, and quick to make in the morning.  A serving of tofu is double the amount of protein as an egg (14 grams vs. 6 grams), takes on any flavor profile, and harms no animals.

The yellow egg color of this tofu scramble comes from turmeric, which is an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and can lower your risk of heart disease, among other benefits.

Egg-cellent Tofu Scramble

Tofu scramble is also versatile because you can throw in whatever ingredients you have in the fridge / anything you'd add to an omelette (peppers, mushrooms, onions, etc.) and it always comes out delicious. A serving of tofu is double the amount of protein as an egg (14 grams vs. 6 grams), takes on any flavor profile, and harms no animals.

Instructions

Notes

When cooking your tofu, set it and forget it can apply here (No longer than 7 minutes). If you're not a fan of runny eggs or tofu texture leaving your scramble over the flame will take out alot of the moisture and really get whatever egg consistency you're looking for.
