Vegans Can Eat Scrambled Eggs, Too! Follow Your Heart Vegan Egg Review

vegan-scrambled-egg-demo-thumbnail (1).001.jpeg

Can vegans eat scrambled eggs? Yes ma'am! 

I remember hearing rumors about a vegan scrambled egg about 2 years ago and Follow Your Heart finally launched it!

 

So why not just scramble a chicken egg?

  • Vegan eggs are more sustainable - 1 dozen chicken eggs = 6.6 worth of greenhouse gas emissions
  • Eating eggs is animal cruelty - This article breaks down the horrors of the egg industry
  • High in saturated fat & cholesterol; which increases your chance of heart disease & diabetes This video sums up (in 60 secs) why eggs aren't healthy...

 

What is the Follow Your Heart vegan egg made out of? The first 3 ingredients are whole algal flour (ingredient derived from algae), whole algal protein and modified cellulose 

The product is gluten-free, non-GMO and soy-free

 

Where can you order it? I purchased mine from Amazon but Rabbit Food Grocery (vegan grocery store in Austin) has it too.

 

I will say that I've never been a fan of scrambled eggs, so my opinion may be biased because of this. lol

Many people in my YouTube comments had great success with the product, so if you're a egg lover this may be perfect for you. 

Watch me prep, scramble and eat the scrambled eggs with my kids below...

Some tips:

  • Use a blender to make "fluffier" eggs
  • Black salt will give it more of an "egg" flavor
  • Be sure to also use other seasonings that you would typically use when making your eggs
  • Make sure you're using COLD water to make the eggs
  • Practice makes perfect - don't give up if it doesn't work the first couple of times.

Does the Follow Your Heart Vegan Egg Work? | Review (VIDEO)

I haven't baked in forever, but I had to dust my cupcake pan off to test out the new Follow Your Heart Vegan Egg.

What's the biggest difference with this egg replacement? You can actually scramble it like chicken eggs! Crazy, huh?

Even though I haven't scrambled them yet (not a fan of scrambled eggs), you can see The Sexy Vegan make it here), I had to test the vegan egg in bang bang cauliflower and cupcakes.

All you need is 2 tablespoons of the vegan powder (main ingredients are algal flour & algal protein - see the other ingredients here), 1/2 cup cold water and a whisk (or blender) per egg.

This product is gluten-free, non-gmo and soy-free

Here's the review video....

Products mentioned in the video:

Follow Your Heart Vegan Egg - I purchased mine from Amazon (usually sold out fast) but rabbitfoodgrocery.com has it.

Cake mix is from Immaculate Baking Company - I purchased it from Target and used almond milk instead of dairy milk and Earth Balance vegan margarine instead of dairy butter.

Recipe for the Bang Bang Cauliflower - the original recipe is vegetarian and from Kirbie's Cravings. I switched out a few ingredients (and omitted one) to make it vegan.

Bang Bang Cauliflower

by Brown Vegan

Prep Time: 10

Cook Time: 20-30

Keywords: snack vegan

Ingredients (2-3 servings)

  • 1/2 head of cauliflower, cut into bite sized florets
  • 2 cups panko bread crumbs (check label to ensure it's vegan)
  • 2 vegan eggs
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional, for garnish)
bang bang sauce
  • 2 tbsp sweet chili sauce
  • 2 tsp sriracha
  • 1/4 cup vegan mayo (Just Mayo is a good brand)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400F.

In a small bowl, dip cauliflower pieces in vegan egg.

Place panko crumbs in a second bowl and then roll in cauliflower until fully coated.

Place on baking sheet.

You will need to use your fingers to press on the coating to help it to stick to the cauliflower bites.

Repeat until all cauliflower is coated.

Bake for about 20 minutes (bake longer if you prefer a crunchy and/or darker coating)

While cauliflower is cooking, make the bang bang sauce.

Add all ingredients into a small bowl and whisk until uniform and no mayonnaise lumps remain. Drizzle over finished cauliflower, reserving additional for dipping.

Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
