Quinoa & Tofu Breakfast Scramble

Plated with thin slices of maple tempeh bacon, quinoa & tofu scramble hits the spot!

The best part of waking up is a plate of this quinoa tofu scramble in your gut!
I know. That didn't rhyme....
Still, this is a hearty, very satisfying breakfast that deserves kudos. Quinoa and tofu scrambled together and paired with maple tempeh bacon is a real championship winner for the hungriest early riser! Fluffy, light texture, bright yellow hue, and flavorful combination is a much better substitute, especially without all the unnecessary cholesterol.
For other variations like adding a vegetable spin, great suggestions would be portobello mushrooms, red and green bell peppers, spinach and broccoli, and even shredded carrots or a side of herb roasted breakfast potatoes.
Either way, this was an amazingly splendid part of the morning! A good hefty portion should keep a person energetic for hours!
