Answer 5

Here are some of my favorites:

Hot creamy soya porridge, with chopped banana and golden/maple syrup on the top.

Soya yogurt with banana, strawberrys(or any fruit of your choice) with seeds on the top.

With my breakfast i love to have Innocents breakfast smoothie, find it here - http://www.innocentdrinks.co.uk/our_drin...

Heres some recipes you might like:

Fruity Porridge

Ingredients

1/2 cup of porride oats

1 cup of soya milk

handful of sultanas

1 banana

golden syrup

Add 1/2 cup of porridge and 1 cup of soya milk together in a microwaveable dish or a saucepan. If making in the microwave cook for 2 mins on 800 then stir and add more milk if required and put back on for a further 2 mins. If cooking in a saucepan put on a medium heat and keep stirring all the time until the porridge starts to bubble.

Line the bottom of a bowl with thinly sliced banana and pour the porridge over the top. Add a handful of sultanas (washed in hot water to make them swell) and stir. Add as much goldne syrup as you like.

Blueberry Pancakes

Ingredients

plain wholemeal flour

soya milk

vegan margarine

blueberries

soya cream

For the pancake mix, I never measure my ingredients but judge by the consistancy of the mixture. If I want thin crisp pancakes I make a runnier mixture and for thicker stogier pancakes I use more flour. I usually make less mix than I need in case we don't eat as many as I anticipated, but if you have some left over it will keep in the fridge for as long as the milk will stay fresh.

Start by melting a k**b of margarine in a frying pan. Mix soya milk and the flour together in a jug with a fork until you have the desired consistancy. If it is lumpy you can use a hand mixer to smooth it out.

Pour some mixture into the pan. For thin pancakes barely cover the bottom of the pan, but for thicker ones pour in a more generous amount. Cook on a medium heat as you don't want them to burn. Use a spatula to gently turn the bottom of the pancake to check how it is cooking. If it is going brown but there is still a lot of liquid mixture on the top turn the heat down a bit. Once the pancake is solid enough flip over gently using the spatula and cook the other side. I have never been able to toss these as they don't have the same consitancy as regular pancakes.

Once the other side is cooked as well turn out of the pan and fill one side with soya cream and blueberries. Flip the other side over and then enjoy.

Omega Breakfast

Ingredients

200g porrige oats

25g pumpkin seeds

25g linseeds

25g sunflower seeds

25g sesame seeds

50g sultanas

Put some oil in a pan and heat. Add the porridge oats and cook on a medium heat until toasted. Allow to cool.

Mix in a basin with the seeds and the sultanas (which have been rehydrated by running them under hot water).

Serve cold with soya milk for a healthy breakfast full of Omega 3.

Sweetening agents:

Golden syrup

Maple syrup

Rice syrup

Rice extract

Fruit sugar

Agave nectar

Answer 6

large grilled mushrooms topped with soy cheese or grilled tomato. potato rostis, and baked beans.

Answer 7

For toast ideas:

avocado, tomato and alfalfa sprouts on wholegrain toast with a squeeze of lemon and sprinkle of pepper. You can also roll it up in a lettuce leaf instead of toast.

baked beans

tahini & maple syrup or agave nectar

almond, peanut, cashew or brazil nut butter and banana

Other ideas:

fruit salad with a vanilla cashew cream (just blend cashews, water and vanilla essence)

muesli with soy,oat, rice or almond milk

bircher muesli, soaked in juice instead of yoghurt

silken tofu scrambled with soy sauce and ketchup with some grilled tomatoes, mushrooms and green onions

As for sweeteners:

maple syrup

agave nectar

xylitol

stevia (the liquid extract doesn't have the bitterness that the whole herb has)

rapadura sugar (evaporated cane juice)

banana/dried fruit work well on cereal to sweeten

Answer 8

Scrambled tofu!  Seriously, I make this every weekend and I crave it during the week.  I use this recipe, minus the mushrooms and carrot, plus sundried tomatoes and spinach, topped with salsa and served with home fries.

I like brown sugar on my oatmeal, so I just buy vegan sugar.  Have you tried agave?

Answer 9

Try brown rice syrup, maple syrup or agave nectar. I usually rotate between those three because I love them all.

Answer 10

Vegan sweetener Agave nectar..very nice

Breekie ideas, Van's Vegan Waffles(Dairy & Egg Free) Potatoes(oven roasted the night before)

Grits, Oatmeal, Qunioa, Rice,or cold cereals served w/ rice milk ~ Trail mix, Fresh Fruit with nuts ~ Nutbutters on Bagels, English Muffins or toast. Smoothies made with Frozen Fruit, rice milk, agave nectar & add flax meal for your health.

Answer 11

An orange, a banana, a pear, and an apple! Also a carrot. Yum.

Or, alternately, some cereal, hash browns, grits (made with water, not milk, of course), and some pineapple.

If you're not familiar with grits, oatmeal works just as well, but you might like grits. They're a familiar thing here in the south, but be careful! Most places serve them with huge amounts of butter, cheese, and bacon.

Answer 12

I like shredded potatos a lot, fried in veg oil. Then you can add a few other bits of other plant food...yum.

Answer 13

Agave nectar, maple syrup and stevia are all great vegan sweeteners.

And for breakfast...:

Answer 14

http://eatingwell.com/recipes/healthy_pa... just sub out the  skim milk for soy milk or water.

Answer 15

The tastiest cereal I eat is Dorset cereals, I currently have the fruit, nuts and seeds variety. It has Oat flakes, Chilean flame raisins, toasted and malted wheat flakes,barley flakes, dried apricots, sultanas, banana(sweetened with coconut oil), pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, almonds and roasted hazelnuts.

I always let it soak in soya milk for about 10 minutes, it softens the fruit lovely. This will keep you full till lunch, and it doesn't need sweetening.  It not dry like some muesli.  Or you can replace half the milk with soya yohurt.
