11 Immune-boosting breakfasts to get your day started right
In our WFH fantasies, we have a plant-based chef preparing yummy, immune-boosting breakfasts before our 9 a.m. Zoom meetings. Dreamy, right? But alas, our mornings usually look like us staring at our fridges and trying to figure out what’s easiest to whip up in three minutes!
So, if you’re like us and trying to kick your breakfast game up a notch, check out these 11 plant-based immune-boosting breakfasts. Especially during these stressful times, starting the day off right is a great way to keep our energy high while working from home and keep our immune systems on a good track…. and not completely out of whack.
11 Immune boosting breakfasts to get your day started off right
1. Vegan Breakfast Burritos
Between the garlic and mushrooms + avocado and garlic, this recipe by Ela Vegan is packed with immune-system boosting ingredients. We also LOVE that it’s freezer-friendly.
2. Matcha Vanilla Zoats
Matcha-lovers, you’ll love this yummy bowl recipe from PlantyFaby.
Combine oats, matcha, mashed banana, and zucchini and give yourself a powerhouse of good-for-you ingredients.
3. Vegan Breakfast Hash
This breakfast hash from Curious Chickpea is delish just as it is, rolled in a tortilla, or atop a piece of toast (we love sourdough for the probiotics!).
4. The Best Green Smoothie
Sometimes the perfect way to start your day is with a simple green smoothie.
We love this one from I Love Vegan made with spinach, bananas, and peanut butter. Top it with your favorite seeds and nuts… and you’re good to go!
5. Golden Milk Latte Chia Pudding
Squeeze in your chia seeds, turmeric, and ginger with this yummy recipe from Choosing Chia.
This pudding is also perfect for those mornings when you want a little sweetness to start your day.
6. Vegan Breakfast Tofu Bowl with Tofu and Kale
In this one bowl from Loving it Vegan, you’ll get superfoods, protein, and healthy fats!
We’re also big fans of this recipe for breakfast-for-dinner nights (which happen very frequently in our kitchens!).
7. Ginger Turmeric Oatmeal
Ginger + turmeric + oats = superfood perfection! This recipe from Soul in the Raw is super easy, which makes it an ideal go-to bowl in the morning.
8. Blueberry Bliss Smoothie
Get all the antioxidants with this Blueberry Bliss Smoothie from Purely Kaylie. P.S. be sure to take a mental picture (and a real pic) if your bowl looks even half as pretty as this one.
9. Sweet Potato Granola
Just looking at this picture makes us drool. We love this Sweet Potato Granola recipe from Minimalist Baker made with raw nuts, sweet potato, and rolled oats.
Stir it with dairy-free yogurt, top it with fruit, or mix it with your fave plant milk (not sure which plant milk is right for you? Take our quiz to find out).
10. Creamy Garlic Thyme Mushroom Toast
Switch up your regular avo-toast and opt for this Creamy Garlic Thyme Mushroom Toast from Deliciously Ella.
11. Vegan Breakfast Quesadillas
Skip the silverware! These Vegan Breakfast Quesadillas from Vegan Huggs are made with bell peppers, turmeric, and garlic (all immune system boosters!).
