Best Breakfast

When I first heard of tofu scramble to replace eggs I was like; “nahhhhhhh” that sounds disgusting, I can live without having a classic breakfast ever again.  WELL, I was wrong y’all, very wrong.  Tofu scramble is surprisingly delicious, it doesn’t have the slimy texture I imagined it would.  It also is not any more difficult to make than cracking an egg is! I made my tofu scramble curry flavoured just to make it more exciting as tofu can be a bit bland.  

My full meal was tofu scramble with yam and potato hashbrowns, fried tomatoes and cornbread.

IT WAS REALLY GOOD. Just saying.

Tofu Scramble

• 1 package extra firm tofu (if your tofu is soft you may get the undesired slimy texture)
• 2 TBS nutritional yest
• 1 tsp curry powder
• 1/4 tsp salt and pepper
• tsp coconut oil (for the pan)

Take the tofu and break it up into chunks with your hands. Add the rest of the ingredients except the coconut oil and mix until yellow, don’t over mix the tofu. Heat a frying pan with coconut oil.  Fry the tofu until any water has absorbed, and the tofu has a legit egg like texture. It’s super easy, you don’t have an excuse not to try it!

Bright Beet Smoothie!

Once upon a time, I used to make smoothies like every day, and it was great, but it was also a phase.  My smoothie phase ended a long time ago, because usually you find a type you like and then you fall into a smoothie rut.  I got bored of smoothies and moved on. Something has changed though, because today I made a truly great, truly excellent smoothie (an awesome smoothie creator does not need to be modest) with some unexpected ingredients.  It started the way literally all of my interesting food creations do- I needed to make something with veggies that were getting a bit beyond their best (squishy beets are gross= eww).  So I decided to blend my old beets (do not ask why) then I just started adding ingredients that might belong in a smoothie and the result was really fucking good. ALSO beets contain phytonutrients called betalains which provide antioxidants, and can act as an anti-inflammatory, all the more reason to enjoy.

• 2 small beets (peeled and chopped)
• 1 cup (240 ml) frozen berries
• a banana
• 1/3 cup apple sauce (80 ml)
• 2 TB (30 ml) almond or peanut butter
• 1 TB (15 ml) chia seeds
• 1 TB (15 ml) grated unsweetened coconut

Blend and enjoy!
