Why I Made High Protein Vegan Breakfast Burrito
I've talked about it before but I love breakfast, like really love breakfast. I also love burritos, there's so much to love. I decided to combine my love of breakfast and my love for burritos into this recipe.
When I first went vegan I found it very difficult to know what to eat for breakfast (aside from oatmeal). Every year it becomes easier and easier to make vegan breakfasts as more products come out. I wanted to help you figure out a great and delicious way to start your day and keep your gains!
How To Make High Protein Vegan Breakfast Burrito
We used Just Egg as the base of this high-protein vegan breakfast burrito recipe. There are quite a few other options out now (Nabati etc.) as well as tofu scramble that would taste great and also be high in protein that you can use as well.
Ingredients for High Protein Vegan Breakfast Burrito
- Protein Wraps (we used Flat-Out brand)
- Just Egg
- Mushrooms
- Pico de Gallo
- Avocado
- Lime Crema
- Green Pepper
- Vegan Sausage Patties (we used Gardein)
- Spinach
Kitchen Equipment I used for recipe:
- Black Salt (Kala Namak) for "eggier" vegan scramble - Typically you won't find black salt in just any grocery store. Usually you'd have to go to a specialty food story, which you may not have access too. Black salt isn't necessary but it does add extra flavour to any vegan scramble recipe.
- Cast Iron Skillet Set (10 & 12 in) - So I got this set for my birthday from my mom and it seriously is sooo good! I used the larger (12 in) skillet for this recipe and it worked so well! Great quality skillets for an affordable price!
- World's Best 15 Piece Knife Set - This is completely just my opinion but this knife set is extremely affordable and it is easily one of the best knife sets I've used in my entire life. I used to buy new cutlery from the grocery store everytime I moved (which was a lot) but now I'll never go with another knife set again!
Instructions for High Protein Vegan Breakfast Burrito
- Start by chopping your mushrooms and dicing the green pepper.
- Heat a frying pan on medium-high heat. When the pan is heated pour ¾ cup of Just Egg into it. Use a spatula to scramble the eggs and fry the eggs until cooked all the way through. While the Just Egg cooks in two separate frying pans fry your chopped mushrooms and vegan sausage patties. Set aside.
- Lay your protein wrap flat and assemble them as follows: Vegan scramble, vegan sausage, mushrooms, vegan cheese, avocado, pico de gallo, green pepper, vegan lime crema, bac'n bits, and spinach.
- Wrap the burrito and enjoy!

Commonly Asked Questions High Protein Vegan Breakfast Burrito
Can you make these vegan breakfast burritos ahead of time?
Burritos are notoriously hard to make ahead of time. Because of the ingredients inside them reheating them makes it difficult to reheat. Nobody likes warm spinach or cream sauce. If you were to prepare these high-protein vegan breakfast burritos ahead of time it would be best if you did not add the sauce and spinach and add them after you've reheated them.
