Q: What are some good ideas for some make-ahead vegan breakfasts that are high in protein? My standard oatmeal breakfasts (oatmeal with fruit and some almonds) don’t keep me full for long enough. I’m thinking of breakfast burritos with beans and tempeh that I can make and freeze ahead of time, or homemade coconut milk yogurt and granola, but otherwise I’m coming up short on ideas.
