A healthy lifestyle starts with a healthy diet. It is essential to start your day with the right choice of breakfast. Studies are showing that we should avoid carbohydrates as much as we can. In a normal diet, you can add eggs, sausages, milk, and other options for breakfast, but for a vegan diet, it’s hard to choose the alternatives of those. In this article, we have developed 5 Low Carb Vegan Breakfast ideas that are healthy, tasty, and easy to make. Â
5 Low Carb Vegan Breakfast Recipes
Chia Pudding
Chia seeds are a perfect choice for a low carb vegan breakfast. They are stuffed with plant-powered protein and dietary fibre and are also one of the best vegan sources of essential fatty acids. Chia pudding is a great meal to kick-start your day. Though this recipe needs to be prepared the night before, but it makes a great breakfast for busy mornings when you need something to grab and go.
Process:
- Whisk properly 150ml unsweetened coconut, soy, or almond milk, 30g chia seeds, and half a teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Store it in a breakfast jar or small bowl, cover, and refrigerate for a few hours or overnight.
- While eating you can top it with a spoonful of coconut yoghurt, some blueberries, and a sprinkle of chopped nuts.
Homemade Nutty Granola
Granolas are one of the best ingredients to include in a vegan diet. We often buy granola from stores which are quite tasty, but we don’t calculate the amount of sugar in it. So not to worry, you can make your granola at home which is tasty as well as healthy. For a nutty, crunchy, and satisfying low carb vegan breakfast serve this dish with a generous amount of vegan yoghurt.
Process:
- Roughly chop two cups of nuts as per your choice, and with that add one cup of raw seeds of your choice and one-third desiccated coconut.
- Melt one-fourth of coconut oil in a bowl then add one teaspoon of vanilla extract and one-fourth cup of maple syrup or agave.
- Mix all these ingredients with chopped nuts and seeds.
- Spread out the mixture on a lined baking tray, and sprinkle with two teaspoons of ground cinnamon and roasted almonds.
- After 20 minutes, take out the oven, stir, and return to the oven for another 10–15 minutes until golden and crunchy.Â
- Once it’s baked, leave to cool before storing in an air-tight container.
