Sausage, Tofu, and Cheese Breakfast Scramble (Vegan)

Sausage, Tofu, and Cheese Breakfast Scramble

     Hey, lovers of scrambled eggs. Listen up. Eggs are one of the world most dense source of cholesterol. The FDA recommended LIMIT for daily cholesterol consumption is 300mg, and one egg alone contains 186mg of cholesterol. That means that if you eat a completely plant-based diet, but two eggs throughout the day, you STILL are putting yourself at risk for high cholesterol. Not so fun fact: only animal products contain cholesterol.
     A lot of people like eggs because they contain protein, but so does this delicious alternative! Made with the infamous tofu, this cholesterol free dish replaces all of the things that vegans avoid (meat, dairy, and eggs) with something even more fantastic. This dish also features some of my go to vegan brands including Daiya, and an old friend, Tofurky. 
     So yes, you can still have the things that are familiar to you in a vegan version. There may be a slight difference in taste, but I promise it's delicious. And the best part? It won't harm you, the animals, or the planet.
