Important note: I'm not a nutritionist or expert. This video is just to help give you some ideas for how to add protein to your meals 😊 There are lots of ways to do this but I hope you find these breakfast recipes helpful! Sending you guys lots of love 💚 Nicole
Glad that you mentioned you're not a nutritionist or an expert,,,, because animal protein is high biological value protein meaning the body receives and uses it better compared to plant protein which are low biological value protein,,,and I wish you mentioned it in your video as well some people don't go to the comment section,,, and that it wasn't attached to a sponsorship,,,, But you do you,,,, it's your channel
This is so helpful! It was a great change from all the other vegan protein recipes that are just packed of tofu and nutritional yeast - which is great, but this is so different and thoughtful!
Love this! I always like to start the day with something light but my partner really likes something hearty that will keep him full so these are perfect.
wait so you're telling me that Ritual vitamins have all the vitamins you need in one capsule?? lol bc i take a handful of b12, D, Omegas, probiotics and more and it's so annoying to open 20 different containers every day hahaha and thanks as always for this video! you need a million subs asap bc your content gets better and better! happy to have new ideas for breakfast especially with weight lifting :')
Thank you so much for this. I am constantly trying to find ways to add extra protein to my meals. Would you be willing to do another video like this on protein packed lunches and dinners? Thanks!
@@NikkiVegan Dr. Greger is my "favorite" plant based doctor. Instead of telling us all of the foods we *can't* enjoy, he focuses on the delicious ingredients we *should* enjoy! I love his positive spin on things.
This is so helpful! I've been vegan for almost 4 years but I've recently started being more disciplined with weight lifting so I'm trying to get even more protein to build muscle. I usually do ground flax in my oatmeal but I'm going to give hemp hearts and chia a try to change it up and increase the protein. ETA: I tried it and it was so good and so satisfying!
Thank you Nikki! These look great and I love how you added loads of protein without any powders or super refined foods. It is true that you can get plenty of protein on a whole foods plant based diet. I would love to see more high protein recipes like this for lunch dinner and snacks :)
Nice tips, i hardly ever have breakfast in my house nowadays, but i would love to try these, maybe it could bring me back to having breakfast more often.
Yummy the quinoa bowl looks so good cant wait to try this! So I started a Vegan lifestyle the beginning of Januray. I love it but man I get so much negativity about what I'm choosing to put in my own body especially from family. It's really sad that they cant just support me. Thank you Nikki you make it a little easier!
I just made the protein oats but added a scoop KOS blueberry muffin protein powder, now it’s over 30g protein combined. Used vanilla extract instead of almond and used almond butter with bananas and walnuts on top
Can I ask what 'just egg' is? Also I love seeds so glad you've added so many into your breakfasts here they are exceptionally yummy and full of goodness :) x
Just Egg is made from mung beans and spices and it has the sam taste and texture as eggs! And I agree! Seeds so delicious and healthy. Love them in sweet and savory dishes too 😊
@@NikkiVegan Only just realised you replied so sorry, wow thats amazing I will try to order some, not sure we have this in the uk but I will check :) Thats one thing I do miss really is eggs so this would be such an amazing find :) Thanks so much
@@NikkiVegan Indeed! I had just watched a video about protein from Dr. Gregger and then I saw you posted :)) I will try these and I'll make the chickpea omelette from the other video for my hubby, he's not at all into sweet breakfasts, I find it hard to come up with ideas for him :D
@@caramelushca I never eat savoury for breakfast but if you are searching for less sweet and substantial breakfast ideas you may wanna check out Rose from Cheap Lazy Vegan. (Quick side note because she tends to not be too sensitive about that: Lately her content has been a lot about losing weight, counting calories etc., so her videos may not be suitable for you). If you think they are: Her breakfasts look like what I would have for dinner: Noodle bowls, spinach and beans etc.
@abc def Thank you for the suggestion and the trigger warning 😊 , I'll check out more of her videos. Yes, I think that's what I find hard to understand about my hubby's way of eating, he just tends to eat things he would have for lunch or dinner in the morning (like soup), and I just think that's so confusing. Like, if you have that in the morning, what are you gonna have for lunch and dinner? :)) I just don't like breakfast to be that much work, I struggle enough with finding ideas for lunch and dinner already :D
@@caramelushca Sameee!😂 But Rose has soups for breakfast too and most of her recipes really are lazy, so this may work out for you😊. I can totally feel you, if you have just the same for breakfast you would for dinner or lunch this must be sooo boring! Like, aren't those people craving granola sometimes?😂
Just found your channel by researching high protein vegan breakfast. I've switched to vegan, plant base for last 6 months and I also workout in our home gym. I needed these kind of meals to filled my body. I am now a new follower, thank you. hugs
Hey Debbie! Welcome and thank you so much! I hope you enjoy my recipes and my channel! If you’re looking for more high protein recipes you might enjoy my mini breakfast burrito boats, my stovetop frittata and also my white bean scramble recipes! ❤️❤️
This is the BEST video of high vegan protein breakfast on RU-vid for real!!! I loved the fact you mentioned the protein quantity in each ingredient!! 😍😍 Could you please make more of these? 💚💚
Nikki, These are GREAT; thank you. Are they still your favorite protein-rich breakfasts or do you have others you can point me to? Looking especially for high protein and super low sugar for my husband especially. Thank you for your help!
I have made these several times now and they are great! Now I have starting using the zest of the lemon in addition to the lemon juice and it is sooo good
Please note.. it's okay to be sick.. it's okay to catch cold..and there's nothing to stress about. All you need is alil bit of rest and light yoga.. I'm an Indian and I've been eating a vegetarian diet my whole life (I'm 16).. until I turned vegan ofcourse.. And I do fall ill twice or thrice a year.. and it's totally normal
Beautiful video! Thank you so much for sharing! I love the "Just Egg", I have been enjoying it from frozen patties ("omelette" style) lately. Soo good :)
Just found your channel. I have severe nut allergies, and can only have peanuts and almonds and LOVE that you incorporate those and soy milk, alternatives etc, giving us options for high protein (instead of cashew milk, etc.)! Thank you, so glad I found your channel!
Hey Nikki I've just recently found your channel and I'm really enjoying it so far I love how you explain thing's and I'm transiting to a more plant based diet and your videos have helped me alot so Thankyou 💕💕
Thanks for taking the time to share how you incorporate more protein into your breakfast. Although we make oatmeal in our house I never thought to add in items you mentioned in your video. Since starting to eat vegan at the end of 2020 my husband has been having a hard time making sure gets enough protein in his diet to hit his macros and your video really helped with breakfast since we no longer eat eggs. Thanks again!
Wow Nikki, this is it, you have super powers, you must have read my mind. Since I have being focusing on increasing my protein intake on each meal, this came on a perfect time. I really appreciate it 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🙌🙏🙌🙌🙌🙌👊💪🌱God bless you.
This just popped up for me and it’s awesome! I was just looking for other breakfast ideas. I’m tired of oatmeal!! I need to stay away from soy because of my thyroid pill so it’s awesome you give other options. I also add ground flax seed to my oatmeal as well as the other items you mentioned in this video.
Great job Nikki!!!!!! Thank you soooooo much that was so informative and inspiring, I'm always trying to get enough protein!!!!!! The recipes looked so delicious as always!!!!!!
Love the ideas! I’m just starting to feed my 6 month old solids and I’m always looking for more ideas! I’m making sure we have enough protein and iron/vitamin C in our meals!
Try oat pancakes! I have been on this same journey over the last two years with my now toddlers. We started by having oatmeal with a heaping spoon of nut butter mixed in (and a smashed banana for sweetness) for over two years, and now I’ve finally learned a neater option which has been really helpful for clean-up with my younger one. We use a cup of oat flour, a cup of plant milk of your choice, a mashed banana, and a sprinkle of baking powder. That’s the base of the pancakes but you can change it up by adding in frozen blueberries, cinnamon, and walnuts or pecans (when they’re older,) etc. You can either buy oats and just blend them up in your food processor or buy oat flour. Both will work great but it’s important that your batter sets for five minutes to thicken before putting it in the pan. Oh, and you can switch out the mashed banana for half a cup of pumpkin purée or half a cup of applesauce. We also love the birch benders plant protein pancake mix!
Nikki, thanks for the recipe ideas. Ironically before I watched this video I made Just Egg for dinner, on an Ezekiel wrap, hummus, lettuce, tomato, sautéed onions. Delicious! ..... Question: your food presentation is amazing, Did you attend any formal schooling for cooking, food prep, etc.?
Those are some great breakfast inspos, thank you so much! Although I have to add that 20g of protein per meal still isn't very much. Of course it really depends on your activity level, your goals and so on, but speaking for me (as a very active, weightlifting student) it wouldn't be enough to fuel myself properly. Might be a great idea to add some soyyoghurt, even more legumes, seitan or even some protein powder here and there, if you're an very active individual!
I love plant proteins but the problem is they're very high in calories for how little bit of protein you get, nuts and seeds are delicious but they're the worst when it comes to protein because of the highest in calories nuts and seeds are mostly fat , this is good for people who are not worried about weight gain or don't care about calories but most of us are trying to lose weight or stay in shape but we still need high protein but it's just difficult when the calories are so much higher than the protein grams on some plant protein foods
3 years later since I'm on Mounjaro and NO videos exist for vegans and protein recipes. Am I the only one that hate the texture of quinoa? Every other recipe I loved.
How much of the just egg did you use? I just bought some and it states 3 tablespoons for a serving of 70 calories but I had to use almost half a bottle for what was the equivalent of one regular egg.
great video love your channel....i have a ? have you tried the my kind vitamins ? can you tell me the difference between these & the ritual vitamins...thank you ...
Can we lose weight eating just vegans? It has a lot of carbohydrates? I am confused because in keto they say carbs can make you fat😢 I love oates, fruits and all vegetables but I also want to put meat with the vegies to get protein
I didn't out the calories because I don't count calories on a regular basis but I got these figures using cronometer.com so you can try that and it will give you the full breakdown 😊
The dishes look delicious but I look at food and gain weight so I am very conscious of fat, carbohydrate grams and calories. Unfortunately with all the nuts and seeds, these dishes seem to be higher in fat and therefore calories than I want.
I used to think so too but that’s based on super old, incorrect info. Soy is a great source of plant protein and fiber and it has a lot of health benefits, contrary to what I’d heard in the past 🙌 I’m not an dietitian but my friend Grace Pascale (babybychickpeas on Instagram) is a great resource for evidence-based nutrition info! Check her out! ❤️❤️
All of the breakfast she showcased clock in between 300 and 400 calories. That’s pretty low, of course whether you are in a caloric deficit or not at the end of the day will depend on what else you eat.
