Quick Plant-Based Breakfast for Meat Lovers
Meat lovers, rejoice! You can protect the environment and still get a hearty, “meaty” breakfast with absolutely zero sacrifice. We’ve put together a list of our favorite quick, plant-based breakfast items for meat lovers.
Eating plant-based meat is good for your health, and good for the environment. According to Dana Hunnes in this article about plant-based meat, “Shifting away from animal-based foods [could not only] add up to 49% to the global food supply without expanding croplands;” but would also significantly reduce carbon emissions and waste byproducts that end up in our oceans and as seafood byproducts (Jalava et al, 2014).” Check out the list below for our favorite quick plant based breakfast items for meat lovers.

Plant Based Breakfast Sausage
This Beyond Breakfast Sausage blew us away. You will never know this isn’t a “real” breakfast sausage. The smell is enticing. The sizzle and the crackle of the fat in the pan is spot-on. And the taste - oh the taste. 100% perfect breakfast sausage. We eat it with (plant based) biscuits or alone.
Just Egg Plant Based Eggs
Just Egg is a plant-based scramble made from plants, not chickens. If you’ve read our other blog posts, you’ll know we are huge fans of mung beans, and mung beans are the base of this amazing, meatless egg. When they say it cooks just like eggs, they mean it. We scramble them and make omelettes and the texture is spot on. If you like your eggs runny, cook them just like you cook your runny eggs. If you like them on the drier side (does anyone?), cook them just like you usually do.
They taste just like the eggs you know, but don’t come from factory farmed chickens. They can also be used as an egg substitute in quiches, frittatas, french toast, waffles, crepes, pancakes, and basically anything else you’d ever put eggs in! It is cholesterol-free, egg-free, dairy-free, kosher, and non-GMO. The ingredients require less water and emit fewer carbon emissions than conventional eggs, so these are a meatless product you can feel great about!
