Wow your family with a delicious Thanksgiving breakfast! Show them the vegan way! LunchBreakLIVE with host Melissa Breslow, founder of Open Eyes Foundation /Festival Promoter/Naam Los Angeles Yoga Teacher with her guest chef Tori Ross, Actor/YouTuber/Dog Mom making a tasty Tofu Scramble LIVE!

Chef Tori knows how to make one mean tofu scramble!

Tori has been vegan for two and a half years! Before that, she was vegetarian which was not the easiest lifestyle choice growing up in Oklahoma with everyone else she knew eating meat. When Tori ate a bunch of cheese at an event where that was the only vegetarian option, she got so sick she decided to transition to veganism. Now, she just finished a 3-month fellowship with the Humane League! She helped make impactful videos to effectively bring awareness to every audience! Tori explains that she loves food more than ever now that she is vegan. She says you don’t sacrifice any flavor when you eat plants instead!

Ditch the eggs and start off Thanksliving right with this unbeatable tofu scramble!

Chef Tori makes the best tofu scramble according to Melissa! We are excited to see how she makes this tofu scramble so gosh darn good! Tori starts off with Bragg Liquid Aminos and tosses in some of their nutritional yeast too which gives the scramble a cheesy flavor and is packed with beneficial B12 vitamins! She presses the tofu and adds more spices including turmeric, which is great for preventing and treating inflammation! Melissa explains if you don’t eat soy you can substitute the soybean tofu with hemp tofu! We learn something new every time we watch this show! Tori adds spinach and tomatoes but you can add almost any other produce you prefer. Then she adds cilantro, which is not for everybody so it can be substituted with parsley, chives, or another herb! Once it’s all whipped up, Melissa dives in for the taste test. She says it’s the best tofu scramble in the world! Try making it at home with Chef Tori’s recipe and wow your friends and family with a great start to their holiday festivities! Choose peace and leave the turkey off your plate. Happy Thanksliving everyone!
