Plant-Based Lentil and Kale Tots Casserole
Looking for an easy way to sneak more veggies into your diet? Replace your potato tater tots with these kale-based ones. (Don't worry, they still have potatoes in them!) We combine these leafy green tots with fiber-rich lentils seasoned with the same spices you find in your average breakfast sausage.

Black Bean & Vegan Sausage Grain-Free Burrito
While your standard breakfast burrito might be loaded with high levels of fat and sodium, this plant-based breakfast burrito uses a ground plant mix as "meat", black beans, and eggs. And before you think you'll be missing out on protein by switching from chorizo to plant-based meat, think again. The grounds we use from Lightlife boast 20 grams of protein per serving. This plant-based breakfast recipe is great for Sunday brunch or even as meal prep. Simply wrap each burrito in aluminum foil, freeze, then seal in an airtight container. To reheat, remove foil, cover with a damp paper towel and microwave until thoroughly heated.

Avocado Crispbreads with Everything Bagel Seasoning
For a lighter version of avocado toast, replace your high-carb bread with Finnish whole grain rye crisps—one of our favorite healthy crackers. We like to top our creamy avocado with fresh lemon, dill, radish slices, and everything bagel seasoning for major flavor impact that is still calorie-conscious. If you're looking for a high-protein breakfast, add lox! Salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids which can help lower your risk of cardiovascular disease.
