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!

VeganEgg Omelette by Follow Your Heart

Hello everyone,

Let’s talk about eggs. Even though I’ve only been vegan since 2009, for the vast majority of my vegetarian years, I didn’t eat eggs. The only eggs I recall liking were these odd “scrambled eggs” that my mom made…in the microwave. I know, I know. Eggs in the microwave. I don’t know why she made them that way, and I don’t know why I liked them. I think it’s because it gave them a slightly firmer consistency.

Anyway, the point is, I never really liked eggs. So many pre-vegans are worried about missing all their old dairy favorites, but I never really had that problem. That said, I was never concerned with finding vegan alternatives. I’ve always loved a good tofu scramble since that doesn’t taste anything like eggs.

Product Review: Follow Your Heart’s VeganEgg

Hello friends,

Today I want to share my review of a relatively new product in the vegan market – Follow Your Heart brand’s VeganEgg.

I first learned about companies attempting to produce the perfect “vegan egg” earlier this year when a flurry of articles related to Hampton Creek (and the “JustMayo” controversy) took over my Facebook newsfeed. While Hampton Creek is supposedly releasing their take on the “vegan egg” later this winter, Follow Your Heart beat them to the punch. Continue reading “Product Review: Follow Your Heart’s VeganEgg”
