If using a grill, use a brush to cover the mushrooms in oil. Grill for at least 8 minutes on each side. Drain the tofu and break up into pieces. Add the turmeric, garlic, and nutritional yeast.

Season with salt and pepper to taste. Toast the Ciabatta breads and spread pesto inside each half of the bread. Sprinkle onions and alfalfa on the bottom half of the sandwich. Put the portobello mushrooms on top of the half with onion and alfalfa, then top with the scramble as desired.

Put the top half of the bread on and enjoy. A plant-based breakfast sandwich is a quick and easy breakfast that you can enjoy at any time of the day.

I have a small garden next to my house in which I grow vegetables which I eat later. The most desiderable veggie in my family is lettuce so I always have its different varieties.

Thanks for sharing. Hi I just wanted to inform you that I am a follower of the plant based lifestyle for a few years now and while you are right about what the plant based diet is based upon, you are wrong in saying that it includes a small amount of animal products since the plant based diet excludes all animal products like the ones you mentioned eggs, fish etc.

It focusses on unprocessed natural foods that are in no way produced by animals since a lot of the substances found in animal products are seen as unhealthy and harmful to both our health and our environment. A person who follows a whole foods plant based diet may not eat any animal products or may eat a minimal amount.

People confuse plant based with vegan often as well thinking that plant based means exclusively plant foods. Colin Campbell also specified that plant based diet is different from vegan in that it may include animal products and is not based on ethics, read more here: History of the Plant-Based Movement.

I hope this helps clarify things for you a little bit and while you may consider yourself a follower of the plant based lifestyle who chooses to omit animal products, it would not be wrong for another follow of the plant based lifestyle to include some in their diet.
