Vegan Tofu Scramble with Veggies
Say goodbye to boring breakfasts and hello to tofu disguised as scrambled eggs—minus the cholesterol and questionable origins. Soft, flavorful tofu crumbles soak up all the spices, while sautéed veggies bring crunch and color. Turmeric sneaks in for that eggy hue (because who doesn’t love food pretending to be something else?). A quick, protein-packed meal that doesn’t require advanced cooking skills—or actual eggs. Serve it on toast, wrap it in a burrito, or eat it straight from the pan like a rebel. Tastes amazing, fuels your day, and doesn’t judge your life choices.
