Quinoa Tofu Breakfast Scramble

September 7, 2017 by Ariel Leave a Comment


Allow me to introduce my latest food obsession: Quinoa.

Yes, it’s yummy. But the best part? There are 8 grams of protein in each cup! Plus, it is a complete protein, which means that it includes all of the nine essential amino acids the body needs. That is just the kind of food that I want to be including in my diet! So I set out to discover different ways to work it into our meals. And in the process, I stumbled upon something you won’t want to miss. The recipe I’m about to share with you is my absolute favorite way to use this yummy grain!

I have been plant based for over 7 years, so scrambled tofu has become a norm in our breakfast rotation. I’ve had some yummy ones, and I’ve had some that were severely lacking (read: way too much turmeric). But when I stumbled upon this combination one morning, I knew I had a winner.

The tofu and quinoa provide an incredible plant-based protein boost, and the veggies add a plethora of other vitamins, plus a beautiful array of color. You can mix up the veggies with some of your family favorites. For instance, spinach works well in place of the kale, and both are a great source of calcium.


Perfect for any brunch or breakfast, this quinoa tofu scramble pairs nicely with toast, oven-roasted potatoes and a fresh fruit salad. Add it to your meal plan for next week! I think you’ll discover you like it as much as I did. 🙂
