 Whereas most breakfast burritos are filled with scrambled egg, this recipe substitutes tofu for a vegan-friendly meal. And although the cholesterol in eggs probably isn't problematic for most people, eating plant-based proteins does help promote heart health by lowering harmful cholesterol levels, says Julie Upton, RD, a registered dietitian and co-founder of Appetite for Health.

 Not only does this dish provide plenty of nutrients, it only takes about 15 minutes to prepare.

Prioritizing protein and healthy fats at breakfast can help you stay full longer — these two macronutrients are the most satiating. When you eat protein and fat in the morning, you’re less likely to overeat and succumb to cravings later in the day, Upton says.

 Instead of buying plant-based bacon from the store, you can make your own with just a block of tofu and handful of ingredients. Although this bacon recipe takes a little extra time (because you need to marinate it), it's a versatile ingredient you can layer on your avocado toast at breakfast or chop up for your salad at lunch.

 Alongside protein, fiber is another nutrient you don't want to neglect in the a.m., Upton says. And this bowl provides about 26 grams of fiber.

“Fiber also helps keep you fuller longer so you can manage your total daily calorie intake,” she says. “Tofu is a good source of fiber so that’s another one of its benefits.” Get the Plant Protein Power Vegan Breakfast Bowls recipe and nutrition info from Kitchen Treaty. 5.

 Drizzling a few spoons of plant-based yogurt or several sprinkles of cheese can also increase the total protein in your breakfast, Upton says. She recommends getting anywhere between 20 and 25 grams of protein in your morning meal.

You don’t necessarily need eggs to make an omelet. This recipe blends tofu, hummus and nutritional yeast (plus a few extra ingredients) to make a convincing plant-based alternative. Considering the fat and fiber content of a solo omelet is on the lower side (7.8 grams and 8 grams, respectively), pair this dish with some oatmeal and nut butter for a more balanced breakfast.
