Vegetarian Breakfast Ideas

For ideas on where to buy what, refer back to the ingredients page, which is important to read before the start of the ski season.

For main meal ideas, see our recipes page.

starting point

essential daily basics

  • soya milk. Long-life soya milk lasts for months and is as good as the fresh stuff, so you can keep it in stock. Use like cows milk in any cooking. Great on cereal.
  • vegan margarine - easy to finish up in any cooking, so get in a lot
  • cereal: reliable vegan ones include Kelloggs rice krispies, cornflakes, frosties and Weetabix. Leave out the cereals in their packets so guests can read the ingredients
  • bread/toast: most bread is vegan, but briefly check for dairy content such as whey, milk powder, buttermilk, lactose
  • preserves: all jams and marmalades are vegan. Honey is not strictly vegan.
  • Yeast extract (e.g. Marmite or Meridian) is a must

welcome extras

  • other vegan dairy products commonly available: yoghurt, cream/dream, ice-cream, and even cheeze (currently rare outside the UK & USA)
  • peanut butter is very popular and a good fall back if you run out of vegan marg
  • fresh fruits and juices - add luxury and cheer to anyone's breakfast

hot breakfast items

  • porridge: always a winner. Make as normal but with water, soya milk, rice milk or oat milk.
  • cooked breakfast: baked beans, mushrooms, tomatoes, vegan bacon and sausages (supermarket, DIY or made from Sosmix brought from the UK).
  • scrambled tofu: mash tofu with a fork, season with herbs and pepper, and fry whilst stirring continuously.
  • pancakes/waffles: replace the eggs with 1 tablespoon of oil, use self-raising flour and either soya milk or water - cholesterol free so suitable for everyone - and taste exactly like pancakes! Syrups and lemon etc are all vegan

is it vegan?

Refer to the vegan definition on the ingredients page.
