Vegan JUST Scramble

Hello everyone,

Are you a breakfast person? Growing up my typical breakfast was PopTarts, Eggos, or cereal. On the weekends my mom would make pancakes or French toast. Eggs were occasionally a central part of the meal, but I was never a huge fan. After going vegan, I quickly fell in love with tofu scrambles and other faux ‘egg’ meals. However, scrambled eggs and omelets were a rare treat on a vegan restaurant menu—not something I would make at home. Well that’s all changed now that JUST Egg launched.

JUST Egg scrambles and tastes like eggs. But it’s egg-free, non-GMO, cholesterol-free, dairy-free and still includes 5g of protein per serving. In my honest opinion, this is the best “fake” egg on the market. It’s so easy to cook and tastes great. One of the primary ingredients is mung beans, and I’m not surprised. A friend from many years ago used to make “omelet-like” mung bean pancakes for me on the weekend. I always loved them so I’m not surprised I really like this vegan egg alternative. Anyway, after going through two bottles over the course of a few weeks, I perfected my Vegan JUST Scramble recipe. The texture is perfectly soft, but also slightly crisp, with a low-key savory flavor ready for sautéed veggies and your favorite vegan cheese. Check out this quick and easy recipe below.

Cheers and happy eating!

Hello everyone,

Sometimes you just need an easy morning. But what if it’s a holiday, you have a family to feed or guests are on their way over. Well, I’ve got the answer—a make ahead vegan breakfast casserole. It’s like a deconstructed breakfast sandwich that you can make the night before. All you need to do in the morning is pop it in the oven, get ready for the day, and take it out an hour later. It’s so easy! Dare I say, fool proof! I stumbled on two different vegan strata recipes from Sweet Simple Vegan and Veganosity and decided to combine and tweak the recipes a bit to make something suited to my own taste. I suggest checking mine out as well as the two others to see which recipe might be right for you.

The following recipe creates a savory, comforting, meal sure to keep you full and fueled throughout the afternoon. Give it a try and let me know what you think!

Cheers!

Jocelyn

Recipe & Review: Vegan Banana Ricotta Toast

Some of you may have seen an accidental post with the draft version of this content. Obviously, my post was published accidentally, very prematurely. Please check out my actual, full post below. Your tastebuds will thank you.  =)

Hello everyone,

Kite Hill RicottaAvocado toast has become… Let’s just say “a thing.” Admittedly, I love a good avocado toast as much as the next millennial, but recently I had a craving for a sweet, slightly savory breakfast toast. I had just picked up some Kite Hill Ricotta so I thought—why not make a Vegan Banana Ricotta Toast?! I’m so glad I did. It was simple, ascetically pleasing, and delicious!

I love all things banana + peanut butter flavored, but I was never one for savory/ sweet breakfast combos. This recipe has swayed me. Kite Hill’s ricotta is slightly sweet and silky and can be used to replace traditional ricotta in any recipe. I’ve previously used this ‘ricotta’ for stuffed shells, and it works fantastic! Check out my tried and true recipe sure to please the dairy-free non-believers! (Plus, you can save $1.00 on the Kite Hill product of your choice!) Next on my list is to use this as a substitute for mascarpone!

What follows is my ‘all you need to know’ recipe for a delicious Vegan banana Ricotta Toast! I hope you enjoy it.

Cheers & happy eating!

Jocelyn
