Scrambled tofu, sweet potato and spiralized courgette salad

Vegan Meal Idea- Scrambled tofu, sweet potato and spiralized courgette salad. This healthy, quick meal is a perfect combination for a tasty evening meal. I love scrambled tofu and believe it is not just a breakfast choice, it is high in protein and contains magnesium and calcium. Try adding red onion and avocado to it for flavour and season with your favourite spices. Sweet potato is a great addition to any meal, it has a naturally sweet flavour meaning it can simply be boiled for around 20 minutes and added to the dish. I have posted a recipe for my raw courgette salad, this makes a great raw lunch and any left overs can be used along side your evening meal. I like meals that are quick to prepare and healthy and it is possible to do both. Try adding different items to any meal to make it healthier and full of nutrients and most importantly filling. Vegans definitely don't just eat rabbit food. 

How to get your scrambled tofu to resemble scrambled egg

Scrambled tofu is a quick, tasty alternative to scrambled egg. It's great for breakfast or if you're like me any time of day. Low in fat and packed full of protein this is a great, healthy meal. 

However tofu on it's own doesn't look like scrambled egg. If you want it to look similar the simple way of doing it is to season the tofu with turmeric which is a really healthy spice along with tomato purée. These healthy ingredients add colour to your tofu. Give it a go. 

Scrambled tofu

For a quick and easy meal try scrambled tofu on toast. It's usually thought of as a breakfast meal but it is a great idea any time of day. Quick to make and full of protein this is one idea that you can use when you don't have the time to cook or have had a busy day and want something filling an healthy. 

Start of with a base of red onion and chopped spinach. I use fry light to cook anything that needs frying as it is healthier than using a lot of oil. If you prefer you can use white onions- it is a versatile meal that you can add anything to and adapt to suit your tastes. 

Add broken up pieces of tofu. I use cauldron tofu that is easy to use and easily broken up. Add two spoonfuls of passata sauce and one teaspoon of paprika. Any herbs and spices can be used. These were what I had available, you can make it different every time if you want, creating a different flavour at every meal! 

Add some mushrooms, I used organic mushrooms for the first time and I was impressed with the taste. Where possible try buying organic food you will notice the difference. 

Tofu is really quick to cook. This whole meal can take about 10-15 minutes. Make some toast while you cook the tofu. 

This is a quick easy meal. Have it for breakfast, dinner or tea or a protein filled snack after the gym. It is handy to know this simple recipe as it is a great quick and healthy meal. Who says fast food has to be bad for you? 

Quick lunch idea- scrambled tofu and sausages

Who says scrambled tofu is only for breakfast, for a quick meal idea you could have Linda McCartney sausages (vegan) with scrambled tofu and salad. 

The scrambled tofu was made by frying red onion, adding garlic, paprika, mixed herbs and cumin to flavour. Adding the tofu broken into pieces. Chopped spinach and grated carrot were added for flavour. Yeast flakes added when cooked. 

This is a quick meal idea full of protein and vitamins. The sausages take 15-20 minutes giving you enough time to make the scramble.
