Many high-protein breakfasts require cracking an egg or two. But there are many healthy high-protein vegan breakfast recipes that will load you up on the essential nutrient without having to rely on animal products.

It might come as a surprise, but plant are an excellent source of protein. While eggs contain 6 grams each, tofu—which is commonly turned into an egg-like scramble for breakfast—contains 10 grams per 1/2 cup. Impressive, right? And that’s just one of the many options you have when it comes to making a high-protein vegan breakfast without a single egg. From hummus toast to quinoa breakfast cookies, start your day with these nutritious recipes.
