This tofu scramble is a quick and easy way to get your protein and veggie fix. It's made with crumbled tofu, chopped vegetables, and nutritional yeast, and it's seasoned with turmeric and black pepper. Serve it with your favorite toast or breakfast potatoes.

The tofu scramble is a breakfast staple in many vegan and vegetarian households. It's a quick and easy way to get your protein and veggie fix, and it's a great way to use up leftover tofu. This recipe is a simple version of the tofu scramble, but it's still packed with flavor. The combination of vegetables, nutritional yeast, and spices gives it a savory and satisfying taste. I like to serve it with whole-wheat toast or breakfast potatoes.
