Ingredients

Vegan Cottage Cheese

  • 1 Block(15oz) Silken tofu
  • 1/4 Cup Vegan yogurt, optional
  • 1 Tablespoon Lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 Tablespoons Agave syrup
  • 10 Ounces Extra firm tofu, about 3/4 a block

Greek Inspired Breakfast Bowls

  • 1 Cup Baby spinach
  • 1/4 Cup Cucumber, sliced
  • 1/4 Cup Kalamata olives, chopped
  • 1/4 Cup Sun-dried or cherry tomatoes
  • 2-4 Vegan eggs(hard boiled or scrambled) I used Wunder Eggs
  • 2-4 Slices Vegan Bacon, I used Hooray Foods brand
  • Herbs and red pepper flakes for topping

Matcha Berry Peach Crumble

  • 1 Peaches,sliced
  • 1 Cup Mixed berries
  • 1/2 Cup Graham cracker crumbs, vegan
  • 1/4 Cup Oats
  • 1 Tablespoon Maple syrup or agave
  • 1-2 teaspoons Matcha powder*
  • Pinch of Salt
  • 2 Tablespoons Vegan butter, melted

Instructions

  • Start by making the vegan cottage cheese. Add the silken tofu, vegan yogurt(this is optional, but I like how creamy and tangy it makes it), lemon juice, salt and agave to a food processor. Blend until completely smooth. Set aside.
  • Now, take the extra firm tofu and squeeze some of the liquid out of it over the sink. Then put it in a medium sized mixing bowl.
  • Smash the extra firm tofu with a fork into small "curds".
  • Pour the blended silken tofu mixture into the bowl with the smashed tofu. Fold to combine. Now you have vegan cottage cheese! Save for later, or make some breakfast bowls.
  • For the Greek inspired bowls, divide the cottage cheese into 4 bowls and then top evenly with the spinach, cucumber, olives, tomatoes, "eggs", "bacon", herbs and red pepper flakes. Or make just one bowl and sprinkle about 1/4 of everything on top.
  • For the matcha berry peach crumble option, divide the cottage cheese into 4 bowls, top evenly with berries and peaches.
  • Then in a small mixing bowl, stir together the graham cracker crumbs, oats, maple syrup, matcha, salt and vegan butter.
  • Sprinkle the matcha crumble mixture over the top of the berries and cottage cheese. Or make one bowl and use about 1/4 of everything!

Notes

*If you don't want to use matcha for the crumble, I recommend replacing it with 1/2 tsp of cinnamon!
