3 Ways to Swap Your Breakfast With a Healthy, Plant-Based Alternative
Updated: Feb. 21, 2020
Food production accounts for one-quarter of greenhouse gas emissions, and meat accounts for more than half of those emissions. The easiest way to have a feel-good meal is to swap in a plant-based alternative—starting with breakfast.
Love eggs? Try a tofu scramble.
Replace traditional scrambled eggs with a tofu scramble for a savoury, protein-packed breakfast. Heat your pan with a drizzle of oil, crumble tofu and add spices like garlic powder, turmeric and nutritional yeast.
Here are a few tips for eating more plant-based foods.
Prefer a smoothie? Make it vegan.

Check out the plant-based products that are actually having a negative impact on the environment.
Favour a parfait? Choose plant-based yogurt.
Swap in plant-based coconut yogurt with berries and granola, and trade honey for a drizzle of maple syrup. Don’t worry: You’ll still get the probiotic boost sans dairy.
