Vegan Brunch Recipes
Smoothie Bowl Bar
One of the simplest vegan brunch items you can throw together and still feel as though you are indulging is a smoothie bowl bar.

Not only are these great for cooking for one, and as a vegan gluten free brunch option, but also for a crowd when you make it a ‘build your own bowl’ style meal.

Toast with a Variety of Amazing Toppings
Toast is really one of the most underrated breakfasts in my not so humble opinion. I recently watched watched the new Netflix series with Zac Efron and my highlight was watching scientists confirm that a high carb, low protein diet is a key to long life, not that I was holding back before that…
In any case, making a spread of delicious toppings with a stack of toast can be an awesome vegan brunch idea. Here are some of my favorite toppings.
Avocado Toast
No brunch roundup could be complete without avocado toast. Just saying, I’ve been eating avocado toast since before it became trendy.
All you have to do to make a good avocado toast is grab a ripe avocado and smash it onto some toast with a sprinkle of salt, garlic powder and nutritional yeast.
You can get fancier with it and make an actual guacamole for people to put on their toast, but the ball’s in your court with that one.

This vegan egg salad only takes five minutes to whip up. It’s so good and eggy and perfect to use as a toast topping, especially with some sprouts and red onion slices.
