## Vegan Breakfast Ideas and Tips for Vegan Cereal
Looking for vegan breakfast ideas? Whether you’re after fibre-rich vegan cereal or other plant-based options, there’s plenty to choose from. Enjoy a wide variety of delicious combinations to suit your tastes and needs.
Of course, our favourite vegan breakfast ideas involve delicious [vegan cereals](https://www.nestle-cereals.com/uk/blog/breakfast-ideas/top-vegan-breakfast-cereals) with a splash of fortified non-dairy milk. But if you’re a fan of mixing things up and looking for an alternative, we put together a list with some of the most popular vegan breakfast foods that won’t make you miss your pre-vegan days.
## Vegan breakfast ideas
Whether you're new to plant-based eating or looking to expand your usual routine, these breakfast ideas for a vegan diet are a great place to start.
### Breakfast breads
Go as simple or as fancy as you wish with your choice of bread products. A simple loaf of bread gives you a key ingredient for a delicious [avocado toast](https://www.nestle-cereals.com/uk/cereal-recipes/gluten-free/avocado-toast), or a savoury vegan cream cheese alternative. But don’t forget the bakery is also full of enticing baguettes, pittas, bagels and rolls. Add a bit of jam or peanut butter and fresh fruits if you prefer a dash of sweet for your first meal of the day (or if you’re out of your favourite vegan cereals).
However, make sure to read the label and look out for non-vegan ingredients, as some could sneak into your favourite bread products. These include milk, eggs, honey, whey or milk proteins such as casein. For a fun twist, this recipe even includes vegan cereal for extra crunch and flavour.
These baked staples are easy to mix and match with other vegan breakfast foods to create a delicious, flavourful morning meal.
### Non-dairy milks
When it comes to milk alternatives, you can choose a different type of [non-dairy milk](https://www.nestle-cereals.com/uk/blog/breakfast-ideas/best-plant-based-drinks) for each day of the week. There is almond milk for fans of nutty flavours, oat milk for oat aficionados and soy milk for anyone who prefers something different. And the list goes on: rice, coconut, cashew or macadamia milk alternatives are just a few of the many ways [vegan cereals](https://www.nestle-cereals.com/uk/blog/breakfast-ideas/top-vegan-cereals) can be enjoyed. If choosing plant milk alternatives, don’t forget to go for unsweetened, fortified options with added calcium.
They’re a must-have ingredient in many vegan breakfast ideas, whether you’re making [smoothies](https://www.nestle-cereals.com/uk/cereal-recipes/smoothies), porridge, or pouring them over your favourite vegan cereal.
### Plant-based meat alternatives
There are plenty of vegan meat alternatives, such as sausages and bacon-style options to help recreate a classic fry-up. Just make sure you check the labels, as some products are vegetarian rather than vegan. Don’t forget to include your favourite vegetables and pulses, like baked beans for plant-based protein and fibre, as part of a balanced diet.
### Vegan cereals
Is your go-to breakfast a bowl of breakfast cereal with milk, topped with delicious fruits, nuts and a dash of cinnamon sprinkled on top? That’s breakfast bliss to us too! Luckily, those who follow a vegan diet can enjoy all that just by simply choosing vegan cereal and non-dairy milk, making it one of the easiest vegan breakfast foods around.
Check out our list of tasty [cereal toppings](https://www.nestle-cereals.com/uk/blog/breakfast-ideas/cereal-topping-ideas) ideas, and other, [ways to eat cereal without milk](https://www.nestle-cereals.com/uk/blog/breakfast-ideas/cereal-without-milk), including plenty of enticing vegan-friendly choices.
