Plant Proof Chilli Scramble

Finding it hard to go 100% plant-based because you love eggs so much? Try this the delicious Plant Proof Tofu Scramble - offering a delicious scrambled 'egg' experience with all the health benefits of a wholefood plant-based diet!  In place of the egg, I use Smoked Firm Tofu (Non-GMO of course) and season it with delicious herbs and spices to create a really mouth-watering experience.  This is a staple breakfast for me (also makes a good lunch) if you were/are a big scramble egg eater and want to leave that life behind you.  It's also an amazing dish to cook up on weekends for friends and family - the perfect introductory dish to show people just how delicious plant-based foods are.  In this recipe I have the scrambled tofu on a vegan bagel, however you can get creative and do things like breakfast burritos, or naked burrito/buddha bowls (if you don't want any bread) by using the same tofu scramble recipe.

Notes

This meal has approximately 25-30g of complete plant-derived protein and is a good source of vitamin c, b vitamins, Magnesium, dietary fibre, folate, iron & calcium. Did you know just 1 TBSP of turmeric has 16% of your daily iron requirements. Black beans are also loaded with iron.
