Low-Carb Veggie Tofu Scramble

Hola Familia!

This breakfast is filling & savory and a quick and easy recipe to make when your in a pinch for time.

I love eggs, but my body doesn’t always react good to them. So I’ve been eating more tofu and honestly, I love this recipe!

Low carb, to reduce the insulin spike so early in the day, but full of protein and getting in those veggies in right from the get-go. Add some avocado on top, and you got a complete breakfast (protein, fiber, & healthy fats).

  • 1 Tbsp of Olive Oil

  • 1 tsp Turmeric Powder

  • 2 Tbsp Nutritional Yeast

  • Sea Salt and Pepper to taste

  • 1/4 - 1/2 Avocado, chopped

Optional: Salsa to top with and customize this and add even more veggies like tomatoes and spinach!
