Even if you aren’t following a plant-based or vegan diet, eggs can get boring. However, as a traditional breakfast food, eggs are certainly easy and accessible. If you are sick of eggs or are looking for vegan alternatives, check out this list of five foods that can take their place as your breakfast staple.
Peanut Butter Waffles
Ingredients:
- 1 protein waffle, toasted
- 1 tablespoon Smucker's Natural Peanut Butter
- ½ small banana, sliced
How to Make It: Nuts are a great way to transform waffles from a carb and sugar bomb to a balanced breakfast, thanks to their abundance of protein and healthy fats. To make this an all-star breakfast, opt for a KNOW Better waffle, which boasts 18 grams of protein per waffle. Spread one tablespoon of Smucker's Natural Peanut Butter onto a toasted KNOW Better waffle and top it off with one half of a sliced banana.
Vegan Loaded Avocado Toast
Ingredients:
- 3 links vegan breakfast sausage
- 1 slice Ezekiel Sprouted Whole Grain Bread

How to Make It: Vegan Sausage is a solid option when it comes to upping the protein content of your breakfast, assuming you pick a link with a high nutritional content. Slice up three links and enjoy it alongside a slice of Ezekiel Sprouted Whole Grain Bread that has been covered in one-quarter of a mashed avocado for a savory morning treat.
Banana-Nut Oatmeal
Ingredients:
- 1 thinkThin Banana Bread Bowl
