Switch up your breakfast for a Healthy Tofu Scramble!

Since I’ve been on this kick to eat more plant based meals and snacks, I decided to incorporate this into the kids meals as well. When I started this plan, I thought it was going to be difficult, but it actually became very eye opening and educational. There’s a whole other world out there of ingredients, seasonings, and preparation. The Tofu Scramble is my personal favorite. I threw this together in place of eggs, and it’s a hit in my house. It’s so flavorful, and this can actually be made for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

The soy chorizo is really delicious, and SPICY. I use about 1/3 of the serving size just for flavor, and to reduce the spiciness and sodium. I created this dish, because I wanted just a plant based meal with no animal products in it. If you’re not into this recipe with the tofu, definitely try it with eggs and a different type of chorizo.

Healthy Tofu Scramble Ingredients

I don’t use a lot of soy based products for the kids, but I don’t mind rotating tofu into some of their meals. This healthy flavorful dish is really simple to cook up. The ingredients include:

  • olive oil
  • red bell peppers
  • onions
  • tofu
  • soy chorizo
  • spinach

Healthy Tofu Scramble Instructions

  • Prepare, and measure all ingredients. 
  • Place sauce pan over medium high heat, allow pan to get hot before adding any ingredients.
  • Add the olive oil to the pan, and allow to get hot before adding any ingredients. About 2 minutes.
  • Once oil is hot, add the bell peppers, for 3-4 minutes, bell peppers will start to soften. Then add the onions for an additional 2 minutes.
  • Next add the tofu, chorizo, and spinach. With a spatula, keep moving the ingredients in the pan, so everything is getting cooked and spinach starts to soften. Cook for about 5 minutes, and it’s done.

Notes

This dish is very flavorful, and the chorizo has a lot of seasoning. You won’t need any additional seasoning.
