- Why is there so much noise behind me?
Today on The Edgy Veg, we are tackling #Back2SchoolVegan.
You guys have been asking me for weeks for meal ideas
recipes that are easy to make for Back 2 School.
So welcome to our Back 2 School series,
and we are starting today with breakfast.
(upbeat music)
Breakfast is one of those meals that nobody has time for.
I work from home and I don't even make time for breakfast,
because I'd rather...
I'd rather sleep...
(laughs) That's very cold.
That's frozen!
- Got it.
- Breakfast! Today I'm going to show you my three favorite
easy grab-and-go breakfast ideas.
So you can have more time in the morning to sleep!
The first delicious breakfast is, of course, chocolate.
Because I believe in chocolate for breakfast.
They are "Chocolate Overnight Oats".
The first thing we're going to do is mix some almond milk.
You can use soy milk, hemp milk, whatever milk you want,
with some maple syrup.
Mix that together.
Now I like to make these with peanut butter or almond butter
You can omit the peanuts if you're making this for a child
and you can't bring nuts to school, that's fine.
You can put in your nut butter now.
Or if you're not using nut butter, don't.
Yeah!
I'm going to add some vegan protein powder
because I just like it.
Makes me feel full for a long time.
Some chia seeds. They get really nice and thick.
Add our oats.
And, of course, you can put it in Tupperware,
but I'm putting it into a mason jar.
Because I'm cool like that.
Right? Tell me I'm cool.
So, I'm just gonna seal that up.
Toss it in the fridge, and come back to it in the morning.
Chocolate any meal of the day.
Ow! That's mean! Don't hurt me!
The cupboard walked into my hand.

I wanted to give you guys a variety of ideas for breakfast.
So, of course, the next one is a smoothie.
And, like, "mehh smoothies!"
But this one's really, really, good.
It's french toast. It's a french toast smoothie.
It also kind of tastes like a cinnamon bun smoothie?
Mainly because it has cinnamon in it?
You make it like every other smoothie that you've ever made,
but this one is just a little bit more awesome
and filled with lots of protein.
And I'm using oats again.
Because I just love how oats
make you feel full for a really long time.
And then I'm not hungry at ten. Again.
♫ Ten again. Ten again.
No? Okay.
We're using protein powder.
To get that buttery french toast flavor
we're going to try and mimic that
with some nutritional yeast.
Because A. It kind of tastes like butter.
B or two: vegans put it in everything.
Then we're going to add cinnamon and nutmeg,
because we need that french toast, cinnamon bun, flavor.
(upbeat music)
You can eat it at your desk. You can eat it on the bus.
You can eat it on a chair. You can eat it over there.
You can eat it with a hat. You can eat it next to a cat.
I'll be here all day!
Breakfast #3 is a breakfast sandwich.
Because everybody loves a good breakfast sandwich.
I mean, it's such a good hangover food.
Really great for frosh week,
when you're more concerned about
where your next drink is coming from.
As opposed to where you're gonna get your groceries.
Just put them in a Ziploc bag and then the day of,
when you want some food...
Assuming that you have a microwave in your dorm room,
throw it into the microwave for a minute.
And then you have a really quick, easy, indulgent,
kind of like junk-food-feeling breakfast
that will still give you tons of energy.
There you have it, guys.
My three favorite grab-and-go breakfast ideas.
All these recipes are super customizable.
So just use some inspiration from those
and just come up with your own variations of it.
