I love breakfast! It is by far my favorite meal, especially on the weekends! This is a weekend favorite in my house! It’s loaded with protein, gluten-free, packed full of veggies and has tons of flavor. Best of all, it takes 20 minutes to make! The veggie scramble is great on it’s own or in a corn tortilla shell.

The Health Benefits of This Recipe Include:
Tofu contains a long list of phytonutrients that can be used by the body to boost immunity. Tofu is high in folate, Vitamin K, Calcium, Magnesium, Iron and Fiber. There is a lot of controversy about eating tofu. I recommend enjoying it upon occasion. (1)
Nutritional yeast is not only a way to add flavor to your favorite vegan food, it’s also a source of protein, with one ounce having 14 grams of protein. Nutritional yeast is loaded in B-Complex Vitamins that the body needs to red cell production.(2)
