Mark Bittman follows that old saying the breakfast is the most important vegan meal of the day.

During a recent interview with Take Two on 89.3 KPCC, Southern California’s Public Radio, Bittman gave a few suggestions on how anyone following his vegan before six flexitarian or completely vegan eating plan can fuel up for the first meal of the day.

“I like oatmeal with chopped vegetables and cilantro and scallions and soy sauce. I realize that’s not to everyone’s taste, but many people like savory breakfast. Smoothies, which I make with frozen fruit and silken tofu or soy milk or almond milk or oat milk or whatever. And fruit, I just eat it through the morning and it seems to do fine.”

If those suggestions aren’t enough, try Bittman’s Breakfast Couscous.

The small orzo pasta pieces are high in protein and provide an alternative to traditional breakfast oats and grains.

Bittman shared with Runner’s World that he often consumes this before exercise.

“Light, fast, easy to make, and in fact a complex carb, whole-wheat couscous is one of my favorite pre-run breakfasts,” he said.

“Make extra and you can eat it again at dinner—it reheats perfectly.”
