The Best Store-Bought Vegan Breakfast Foods to Fuel Your Mornings

Store-bought vegan breakfast foods are a total life-changer. Before moving to a plant-based diet, a lot of people are daunted by the prep work. After all, not everyone has the time to spiralize veggies or make banana "nice" cream breakfast bowls on a daily basis. That's where store-bought vegan foods come in. There's so much on the market these days that finding a quick, cruelty-free morning pick-me-up is easier than ever. With these 14 foods you'll have the fuel you need to make it to lunchtime with a smile on your face.

Kite Hill Dairy-Free Chive Cream Cheese ($7): You won't believe Kite Hill's cream cheese is vegan. It's so creamy, tangy, and herbalicious that you'll want to slather a ridiculous amount on your bagels.

Sweet Earth Natural Foods Big Sur Breakfast Burrito ($4): Sometimes you just need a breakfast burrito. This version comes packed with potatoes, tofu, and smoked seitan. Keep them on hand for those days when you need to grab breakfast on-the-go.

Amy's Tofu Scramble ($5): Skip the scrambled eggs in favor of this healthy tofu scramble. It'll give you the protein boost you need in the morning.

Lightlife Fakin' Bacon Organic Smoky Tempeh Strips ($5): If you're watching your carbs, eschew the seitan in favor of tempeh. It's got a hearty, wholesome texture and smokey flavor that goes with just about any breakfast food.

Chia Pod Coconut ($4): When you're rushing around in the morning, it's easy to be forgetful. That's why the hidden spoon inside the cover of these Chia Pods is such a lifesaver — you'll never have to attempt eating breakfast with your car keys as a utensil again.

Sweet Earth Farmstand Flaxbread Breakfast Sandwich ($6): Vegan breakfast sandwiches may sound like a dream, but these are 100 percent real. Just microwave on mornings when you don't have time to cook.

Nature's Path Organic Waffles Plus Flax ($4): These toaster waffles taste amazing slathered in vegan butter (or peanut butter) and drenched with maple syrup.

Upton's Naturals Bacon Seitan ($4): Chewy, smokey bacon seitan will fulfill all your breakfast desires. It's especially good chopped up and sautéed with some tofu to make a savory scramble.

Amy's Gluten-Free Tofu Scramble Breakfast Wrap ($4): Don't be put off by the fact that these breakfast burritos are gluten-free. The crepe-like wrap gets nice and crispy in the toaster oven, adding tons of texture for a satisfying meal.

Sweet Earth Benevolent Bacon ($4): Thick and "meaty," this is one of the better vegan bacons on the market. It can stand up to sandwiches and veggie burgers no problem, but it's also delicious on its own.
