7. Tofu Scrambles, "Bacon", And A Banana
There are so many ways to make tofu scrambles, just like eggs, so make them any way you like! You can get packaged vegan "bacon" at any supermarket in the natural foods section. Feel free to add any fruit you'd like too, I like bananas with peanut butter.
9. Cookies!
So cookies aren't a meal, but who does't love dessert? And no, you don't have to make them from scratch! Most stores have actually begun to sell vegan cookie dough and you can find it in the same section as all the other cookie dough.
