By Being vegan means sacrificing some things. I have sacrificed many things and don’t regret any of it ~ at all. Talk about worth it!! My health and the lives of the animals and the environment are way more important than my tiny momentary ideas of happiness.
That being said – I do miss the convenience and protein power of eggs. I’m highly allergic to them actually, so I wouldn’t ever take a chance – and the humanity of the baby chicks that die for the egg industry should be enough to pull at anyone’s heart strings. ( I won’t be “that vegan” and elaborate, but if you don’t know – google it)
The ease of prepping an egg and getting a nice low carb / high protein meal in minutes has definitely been a challenge! ugh… what’s a girl to do?
Tofu. Trust me – it’s cool, you can prepare tofu to replace your eggs very easily.
This is my go-to Frittata recipe to use as a base.
