This Green Pesto Breakfast Bowl is what a vegan’s dreams are made of – complete with hash browns, coconut bacon, and a tangy green pesto made from three types of herbs!
Happy Sunday, everyone! Did you all have a good weekend? I like Sundays because they’re definitely a little slower than Saturdays… taking longer to get out of bed, more time for slow (and sometimes boozy) brunches. Admittedly, brunch can be kind of hard for vegans. As nearly every brunch item is centered around eggs, going out for brunch can sometimes be a bit of an ordeal. My solution – potatoes. There’s always some form of potatoes on the menu. I personally have been known to order two orders of hash browns for my brunch, and it’s awesome. The best way to go would probably be ordering hash browns and a house salad, because then you can mix them into the salad and have a well-balanced meal.
Ooooor you could just make your own epic vegan brunch at home, like this breakfast bowl. It’s what vegan dreams are made of… crispy hashbrowns, addicting coconut bacon, and a perfectly green tangy pesto that ties it all together. Let me tell you, I gobbled up this whole bowl in a heartbeat after I was done photographing it. It’s that good!
