Plant-Based Breakfasts

This post is in collaboration with Silk. All views are my own. Friends, I have something really special for you today. And it's not one, but FOUR plant-based breakfasts!

How to make four different plant-based breakfasts

And it involves endless options for an absolutely delicious and simple breakfast.  I completely realize that breakfast can be a very hectic time, especially during the week. 

We are all crazy busy, running around try to get kids ready for school and trying to get ourselves ready for work. 

It can seem nearly impossible to get breakfast on the table AND make it nutritious. 

But, I am here to tell you that it IS possible to do both. 

It just takes a tiny bit of grocery shopping and planning, and you can whip any of these breakfasts up in just mere minutes. 

Some of it can even be done the day before so it takes mere seconds to eat and run out the door.

I used Silk Vanilla Almond Dairy-Free Yogurt Alternative and Unsweetened Vanilla Almondmilk (a staple in my house) because they're dairy- and lactose-free, have an amazingly wholesome taste, and can easily be swapped in to recipes that contain dairy. 

Many people are seeking options that are dairy- and lactose-free, and I absolutely love their vanilla varieties because, well, it basically tastes like ice cream (YUM).  

Silk’s 'Progress is Perfection' campaign fights the notion that “extreme” is the only path to being healthier, small victories are still victories.  And you know that's what I'm all about!

The first creation is quite possibly the most fun because it involves crepes and making those crepes into enchiladas (who wouldn't LOVE that?!).  If you haven't made crepes before, they're even simpler and quicker than pancakes.  T

hey have no leavening agent, so it's just a simple batter of whole grain flour, salt, a pinch of sweetness, eggs and Silk Unsweetened Vanilla Almondmilk. 

Heat a cast iron or non-stick skillet with a bit of oil, pour some batter in and cook 1-2 minutes per side. 

These crepes are a bit eggy, have some fiber and are perfect rolled up into enchiladas and topped with Vanilla Almond Dairy-Free Yogurt Alternative, fresh berries and mini dark chocolate chips. 

What's even better is the crepes can be made in advance (up to 3 days), which makes for an even quicker breakfast on those crazy days.

What are your favorite plant-based breakfasts?

The second breakfast option is a yogurt bowl topped with crunchy almond granola, frozen mango chunks and a drizzle of honey.  It really doesn't get much quicker and more wholesome than this. 

I love to choose a granola that has added protein because this bowl becomes even more filling so I can make it to the next meal without being hangry.

It's a win-win situation, folks.

How to make toasts with yogurt

The next creation is quite possibly my favorite (I know, I say that about all of them).  I ate it this morning and was seriously overjoyed because it tasted so good. 

Hearty whole grain toast is topped with nut butter (whatever kind you like), then a generous slather of the Almondmilk Yogurt (those cute vanilla bean specs make my happy), thinly sliced apples, a drizzle of honey and a sprinkle of chia seeds. 

The textures went together so nicely, and it's a well-balanced, easy and fast meal to whip up in the morning.

You'll end up making this toast on the daily because it's. so. good.

I'm really loving on this smoothie...

And last, but not least, is this dynamite smoothie.  Frozen peaches (or fresh, if they're in season!) are blended with half a ripe avocado, and both the Almondmilk Yogurt and Almondmilk to make a smoothie that puts all other smoothies to shame (sorry not sorry).

Plus, what's super cool is that all of these recipes were made with plant-based ingredients.  Y'all know I love meat and animal products, but sometimes I need to check my diet and make sure I'm getting enough plants since they're super good for us.  And by using Silk products, it's easy to eat more plants without sacrificing flavor.   

Swapping in Silk is great to create a "lightened up" version of recipes to help with small victories on your path to a better you - which is why I'm such an advocate for their yummy products.  I highly recommend you check 'em out.

Try one or all of these plant-based fun breakfast creations and tell us why you love 'em!

Breakfast really IS the best meal of the day.
