Whether due to an allergy or personal preference, eggs don't always fit into a healthy diet — which can be challenging when looking for a feel-good breakfast. These recipes, which include creamy oats, satisfying smoothies, tofu-based scrambles, and crunchy toasts, all fit into a wholesome breakfast while being completely egg-free.

Peaches and Green Smoothie Bowl

View Recipe: Peaches and Green Smoothie Bowl

Transfer your favorite green smoothie into a scoopable version with this easy smoothie bowl recipe. Superfoods like kale, ginger, avocado, and matcha powder give this bowl a big boost of healthy benefits. Peaches lend a natural sweetness and help blunt the earthy tang of green tea powder. Look for perfectly ripe peaches, which blend up better and produce a silkier texture than unripe ones.

Mexican Chocolate Smoothie Bowl

View Recipe: Mexican Chocolate Smoothie Bowl

This incredibly flavorful variation on your morning chocolate smoothie will soon be a new favorite for you and your family. Maple syrup lends a delicate sweetness with caramel undertones, and dark chocolate almond milk gives the smoothie bowl a naturally bitter chocolate flavor. Silken tofu and Greek yogurt combine for a silky smooth smoothie bowl texture. Top with coconut, bittersweet chocolate curls, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper—don't you dare skip it—for that spicy-sweet Mexican chocolate flavor.

Veggie Bowl with Tofu Scramble

View Recipe: Veggie Bowl With Tofu Scramble

The seasoned, sautéed tofu is just about a dead ringer for scrambled eggs, especially if you opt to add golden turmeric. Kala namak, a type of black salt, also makes a great addition to this dish to give it more of an eggy flavor.

Blackberry-Citrus Granola Bowl

View Recipe: Blackberry-Citrus Granola Bowl

The best way to cook steel-cut oats during the week? Don't cook them at all. Soak the oats overnight in your milk of choice: The oats will soften and plump in the liquid but remain slightly chewy. Enjoy cold, or heat in the microwave for 30 seconds. Cocoa nibs add a little extra crunch and a wake-up jolt similar to coffee.

Dragon Fruit Smoothie Bowl

Credit: Photo: Caitlin Bensel; Prop Styling: Audrey Davis; Food Styling: Anna Hampton
View Recipe: Dragon Fruit Smoothie Bowl

This vibrant magenta smoothie bowl is as delicious as it is beautiful. Dragon fruit doesn't have much flavor (but loads of color), which lets the other ingredients, like delicately sweet almond milk, tangy kombucha, and tart pineapple shine. You can't go wrong with tropical fruit toppers, but pineapple is quite striking when paired with pepitas and bee pollen. Fizzy kombucha makes the texture of this easy smoothie bowl quite unique and addicting.

Elvis-Style Vegan French Toast

Credit: Caitlin Bensel

This vegan French toast hits all the crave-able points: It's sweet, salty, soft and chewy, with hits of crunch. Plus, your non-vegan friends or family will never know. The secret? We use aquafaba which keeps it tasting eggy and delicious. On its own, the grape jam might be overly sweet, but it’s nicely balanced by the French toast batter and the salty peanut butter sauce and “bacon.” Be sure to use a hearty bread (shelf-stable sandwich bread doesn’t really work) and give it just a quick dredge in the almond milk mixture or it’ll get soggy.

Creamy Steel-Cut Oats With Mixed Berry Compote

View Recipe: Creamy Steel-Cut Oats With Mixed Berry Compote

Steel-cut oats get microwaved in a mixture of water and milk for supreme creaminess and a dose of vitamin D, thanks to the milk. With oats, mixed berries, and almonds, this breakfast is chock-full of fiber, boasting 10 grams per serving. And if your oats carry the certification, this meal is gluten-free as well.

Blue Banana Smoothie Bowl

Credit: Photo: Caitlin Bensel; Prop Styling: Audrey Davis; Food Styling: Anna Hampton
View Recipe: Blue Banana Smoothie Bowl

If the captivating color doesn't convince you to give this vibrant smoothie bowl a try, the combination of flavors most certainly will. Blue spirulina powder gives this banana-apple combination its vibrant color and tea-like earthiness. Use unsweetened vanilla hemp milk to make this more spoonable. If you don't like or can't find hemp milk, any milk option would work beautifully here. Make sure you peel the banana first, then freeze it. It's very difficult to peel after the unpeeled banana is already frozen.

Raspberry-Date Smoothie

Credit: Jennifer Causey
View Recipe: Raspberry-Date Smoothie

You’ll often find silken tofu in shelf-stable packages on the Asian foods aisle. We call for Mori-Nu brand because one package will provide exactly what you need for this 3-day meal plan. The squeeze-pack of almond butter is convenient and contains only what you need for this recipe. But if you have almond butter in your pantry, just use 2 tablespoons.

Golden Mango Smoothie Bowl

View Recipe: Golden Mango Smoothie Bowl

In this smoothie bowl, you'll see the color of the sunset and taste the heavenly bliss of the tropics. Fresh mango turns silky when pureed with coconut milk. We boost the golden hue with superfood turmeric, and the delicate sweetness is provided by honey. On top, you can use any assortment of fruit you want, but we like the variety of textures and colors provided by pomegranate arils, kiwi, and flaked coconut. We used petite kiwi berries instead of the larger fruit, but either will be gorgeous.

Celebrate the classic combo of chocolate and cherry with this spoonable smoothie bowl. Tangy dark cherries provide a tart blunt to sweet bananas and creamy whole-milk yogurt. Unsweetened cocoa provides all the earthy goodness of chocolate without any additional sugar. Top with dark chocolate curls for a beautiful topping, or sprinkle on cocoa nibs for a faster finish.

View Recipe: Sweet Corn Oatmeal with Peaches

We simmer fresh, sweet corn kernels with toasted rolled oats until thick and creamy for a happy cross between oatmeal and creamed corn, made even sweeter with maple syrup. Try substituting unsweetened almond milk for the whole milk for a rich, slightly nutty flavor.

Blueberry-Strawberry Smoothie Bowl

View Recipe: Blueberry-Strawberry Smoothie Bowl

A study published a couple of years ago suggests that the thicker your smoothie, the more satiating it is (i.e., the more staying power it has, helping you feel satisfied for hours). So a smoothie that’s thick enough to eat with a spoon is bound to keep you fuller longer. This one gets its richness and creaminess from avocado, which also provides fiber and heart-healthy fats to keep you full.

Banana-Pineapple-Kale Smoothie

View Recipe: Banana-Pineapple-Kale Smoothie

The banana and pineapple provide the sweetness necessary to balance the bitter bite of the kale while the light coconut milk adds lots of richness. Feel free to add ice to the blender if you like a slushier texture. If you like, purchase pre-cut fresh pineapple in the produce section.

Smoothies are a perfect way to enjoy fresh raspberries this summer. Jumpstart your morning with a smoothie, or enjoy after a good workout. This super-chocolaty raspberry smoothie is a tasty nondairy option for everyone. Dates offer richness and a caramel-like sweetness--naturally--while boosting fiber by about 2g.

Overnight Oats With Kiwi and Coconut Flakes

Credit: Greg DuPree
View Recipe: Overnight Oats With Kiwi and Coconut Flakes

Overnight oats take less than five minutes to prepare the night before, and all you need to do is add toppings the next morning. Steel cut oats are ideal for this method since they retain their toothy bite without getting mushy. The key to getting the right texture is hot milk—it needs to be hot in order to soften the oats; cold milk simply can’t tenderize them during an overnight soak.
