If you are like me and you grew up eating scrambled eggs fairly regularly for breakfast, the idea of tossing scrambled tofu into the mix may seem a bit odd. However, I strongly urge anyone who is vegan or simply looking to add more variety their diet to give this a try! Not only does this dish almost perfectly mimic the texture and flavor of scrambled eggs, it is also packed with protein, and is extremely satiating, especially when paired with, my favorite, avocado toast! 
Two of the most essential components of this recipe are turmeric for anti-inflammatory benefits and that classic yellow color, and lots nutritional yeast for nourishing B vitamins and that delectable cheesy flavor. From fresh herbs, to garlic, to your favorite veggies, the rest of the add-ins are yours to experiment with. Enjoy!
