15 Vegetarian Breakfast Ideas That Take Less Than 10 Minutes

Sometimes having a strict vegetarian diet means you miss out on all the fun. You have to be extremely innovative to have a decent meal. During breakfast, you’re on the go, need to get your energy, but feel a bit limited as to what you have to whip up together. Well, it’s not as difficult as it may seem. Here are 15 yummy vegetarian breakfast ideas that will take you no time to make.

1. Vegan French Toast

Yep, some of these vegetarian breakfast ideas are vegan, too! You don’t need dairy to create this breakfast classic. Gather some wheat or homemade bread and soak it in some almond milk or coconut milk mixed with vanilla extract and flax seed meal and let it cook in the pan. Sprinkle some cinnamon, fresh fruit, jam or agave nectar and enjoy.

2. No-Bake Cookie Dough Energy Bites

These bites are the perfect little breakfast on the run for those who don’t have time to sit and eat. In a bowl, mix together some oats, honey, almond butter, chocolate chips and a little something if you want to switch it up. Throw on some banana or blueberries, roll the ingredients into about a dozen bite sized goodies and you have an easy energized breakfast.

3. Almond Butter on Toast with Fruit

This is easy, delicious and can be done in so many ways (like all of our vegetarian breakfast ideas on toast). We all love our own little combinations for our breakfast toast, sliced banana on almond butter is the most common and sprinkled with chia seeds will give it some extra protein to start your day.

4. Overnight Oats

This, of course, takes a little prep, as it requires marrying overnight. But you will be glad you did as you create your own overnight oats and have your own delicious breakfast. Mix peanut butter and grape jelly, vanilla yogurt and blueberry, or almond milk with apricot jam. The possibilities are endless and in the morning, you just open the top and dig in.

5. Breakfast Bowl

This is just as simple to create as the overnight oats, and much quicker once you decide what you want to put in it! Create a bowl filled with berries, bananas, yogurt, almonds and maybe your favorite flavor preserve. Once all together, you would have created your ultimate go-to mixture for your super-sized breakfast bowl.

6. Tropical Coconut Oatmeal

Who says your oatmeal should look like food served to 19th century orphans? Have a little fun with your oatmeal recipe and add some coconut milk, oranges, mango, banana and some shaved coconut. It’s like sunshine in a bowl!

7. Breakfast Roll Ups

It’s such a simple recipe that it kind makes us mad at ourselves for not thinking of it sooner. It takes minutes and can be easily transported. Roll up a banana and some almond butter or Nutella in a whole-wheat wrap. You can cut them into coin-sized bites or take it as is.

8. Quinoa Oatmeal

If you have some prepped plain quinoa, you can use it as an oatmeal substitute, if you prefer to get your helping of grains this way. Much like the oatmeal bowl, mix the ingredients of your choosing, drizzle almond butter and toss in some sliced bananas.

9. Protein Smoothie

This is the easiest way to get your nutrients and to consume them in several easy gulps. Sneak in all the pesky vitamins you need to start your morning with a little spinach, almond milk, blueberries, bananas, oats, honey and maybe a little bit of iced coffee to wake yourself up.

10. Breakfast Grain Salad

If you are one to wake up early and work out, this is the perfect breakfast to refuel after your morning jog. Throw together some quinoa, oats, blueberries, oranges, honey, vanilla yogurt and a little cinnamon and you have a powerful breakfast.
