Healthy and tasty recipes for young vegetarian's breakfast?

I need recipes for healthy and tasty recipes for a young vegetarian's breakfast. My sister and I are lacking in the things we're missing out on without meat in our diet, so, things high in protein, iron, calcium and anything else we may be missing would be much appreciated! The healthier the better. Complicated recipes are no problem, but nothing that will take longer than a half an hour to make. Thank you!Healthy and tasty recipes for young vegetarian's breakfast?
I'm assuming you are lacto-ovo, as you did not specify. Eggs and cheese are sources of protein, and super easy. Add some spinach and make eggs florantine for a little more iron. Yogurt is great for calcium and protein, and contains probiotics. A simple breakfast of cereal with milk or soy milk, and a piece of fruit is enough for me, but I get veggies and beans in other meals. You can try quinoa and veggies for breakfast. I also like oatmeal, but add nuts for protein to it and dried fruit, sometimes I'll just mix peanutbutter, honey, and a banana in (a trick I learned from staying in hotels when I travel, it's almost always available at continental breakfasts, warm, and filling enough to keep me satisfied until lunch, even doing work outdoors).

Breakfasts are a sinch.


I eat this exact breakfast even before I was Vegetarian


2 weetbix + Banana on top (weetbix are fortified with iron, zinc, folate)


w/ soymilk (Im lactose intolerant, but the soy milk is fortified with calcium and vitamin D)


1/2 a piece of whole grain toast with almond butter (protien!, and peanut butter is fine too)


And wash it down with a small glass of apple and mango juice (no added sugar)





It sounds complicated, but man I love my breakfast :)
I really love scrambled tofu.

You can throw whatever veggies you'd like in there. The nutritional yeast gives it a nice savory cheezy flavor and has tons of vitamins. here's the nutrition label from a container of nutritional yeast:

Smoothies are easy and very versatile. Use whatever fruit you have and a little water or soymilk (or ricemilk or coconut milk or whatever.) You can even add a bit of raw spinach to pack in some more nutrition without compromising taste. Google ';green smoothies'; for more info on that.
