Vegan Keto Scrambled Eggs

The base of this recipe uses firm tofu seasoned with nutritional yeast for a “cheese-like” flavor and a bit of turmeric to add not only flavor but a beautiful yellow color. The tofu is broken into crumbled and sautéed with diced onion, spinach, and a handful of Follow Your Heart Vegan Cheddar Cheese for an added creamy cheesy texture!

Each serving is approximately 4 oz but will vary due to the amount of liquid you cook out. This simple tofu scramble pairs perfectly with fresh avocado slices or piled onto a low carb tortilla for an on the go breakfast wrap!
