Breakfast Ideas

Cooked breakfasts – even the ‘full British’ – are not a problem for vegetarians and vegans. Veggie sausages and bacon are available and combine perfectly with mushrooms, beans, hash browns, grilled tomatoes and eggs or tofu scramble.

Breakfast can be made more interesting by including granola, good quality mueslis, ‘soaked’ (overnight) oat flake and fruit mixes and porridge instead of ‘regular’ branded cereals. Instead of fruit juice, try serving grapefruit, prunes, fruit salads and dried fruit compote.
