5 Healthy and Nutrition-packed Vegetarian Breakfast Dishes

To raise a toast to a healthy and nutritious lifestyle, we thought of compiling a list of some of the easiest dishes that you could make for breakfast. Not only are they tasty but super healthy too. The best part about most of these dishes is that they can be made with the simplest of ingredients, readily available in any vegetarian kitchen.

1. Peanut Butter and Banana Smoothie: Blend together frozen bananas, a generous dollop of peanut butter, skimmed milk, honey and some ice cubes to create one of the most delicious and healthy morning shakes. Relish this chilled wholesome smoothie with some oatmeal cookies and loads of love!

2. Tofu Sandwich: An extremely tasty and healthy delicacy that not only allures children but elders as well. Apply some green chutney (made by blending together coriander leaves, mint leaves, green chillies, garlic, onions, ginger, salt and a dash of lemon) on a slice of whole wheat bread. Place a slice of fresh tofu, rings of onion and bell pepper on this slice. Sprinkle some crushed black pepper on this and place a plain slice of bread on top of this. Toast this on the grill/tawa for a few minutes and there you go! This high-on-protein snack is ideal for breakfast with some orange juice.

3. Quinoa Fruit Salad: Glamourize the plain quinoa with some fresh fruits, honey, lime and fresh herbs to enjoy a really healthy and delicious breakfast dish.

4. Kaandha Poha (Flattened Rice Flakes Upma): This Maharashtrian delicacy takes just a few minutes to prepare and is packed with taste and nutrients. Cook soaked poha, onions, green chillies, cumin seeds in some oil. Garnish with roasted peanuts, coriander leaves and a good squeeze of lemon juice. You have a hot and happening dish ready to eat!

5. Banana on Toast: You absolutely need no skill and time to prepare this super nutritious snack. The name is self-explanatory when I say banana on toast - literally place slices of a banana on toasted wheat bread with peanut butter spread on it and drizzle some honey on top. You just made yourself an amazing dish for breakfast!
