These 10 Vegan Breakfast Recipes are Perfect for Summer

From vegnews.com

Summer calls for something light and flavourful to start the day. Here are some of our favourite breakfast recipe ideas

In the colder months, breakfast should be warm, cosy, spiced with fall flavours (looking at you, cinnamon), and perfect for enjoying tucked up inside. But in the summer, we want to be dining al-fresco as much as possible. Throughout June, July, and August, breakfast should be light, refreshing, and packed with nutritious ingredients to see us through those long hot days. Below, we’ve picked some of our favourite summer breakfast recipes to see you through until September.

What is the best breakfast for summer?

When the sun is shining, we don’t spend ages in the kitchen cooking. Instead, we want to be soaking up those beautiful early morning rays, before the midday sun hits (and always wearing SPF, of course). That’s why these summer breakfast recipes are quick and easy to prepare. They’re also light and refreshing, too. It’s best to avoid heavier meals in the summer months, as they’re harder to digest and might make you feel a little sluggish and uncomfortable. But most importantly, summer days (and all days) should be started with something delicious and nutritious.

Our recipes below tick all of the boxes.
