At The Protego Foundation, we believe there’s no better way to celebrate our magical cooperation in the fight for creature rights than by veganizing an array of magical meals from Goblet of Fire!

Whether you’re competing as a Triwizard Champion, rocking and waltzing at The Yule Ball, or taking direct action for the Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare, drink a gulp of Gillyweed and dive head first into these scrumptiously vegan recipes.

Bountiful Breakfasts

We are often told that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and this is no exception for a Triwizard Champion. Before you launch into your fireplace to travel via the Floo Network, make sure you have a full stomach to start your day the wizarding way!

1. Aunt Petunia’s Broiled Grapefruit

An unfortunate start to our wizarding hero’s fourth adventure involves the tantrums and tears of Dudley and Aunt Petunia battling over “the young killer whale” and his diet.

Although The Protego Foundation does not approve of the fatphobic language used to describe Dudley (learn more on Season 1, Episode 16 of ProtegoCast), we are a big fan of Aunt Petunia’s Broiled Grapefruit, which offers a fruity breakfast option.

With a swish and flick, you can easily customize your grapefruit to relish in all its sweetness. In this recipe, we Accio powdered ginger and coconut oil and sprinkle it with salt and sugar!

2. Scrambled Eggs, Bacon, and Orange Juice

As the Hogwarts students prepare for the arrival of their international counterparts from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang, Harry and Ron are left munching on scrambled eggs and bacon with Hermione lecturing on “A Highly Biased and Selective History of Hogwarts, Which Glosses Over the Nastier Aspects of the School” for the benefit of elf liberation.

In support of S.P.E.W, you can grab your nearest cauldron and veganize this British classic without the assistance of elves used in houses. This recipe involves conjuring your own rice-paper bacon!

If you’re fearful that you don’t have enough time (and you’re without a trusty Time-Turner!) – you can always head to your nearest store and find some plant-based alternatives to save you time.

For example, if you’re unsure about scrambled tofu, try Just Egg or Crack’d for an eggs-cellent replacement! And if you're a bit perplexed about making your own bacon, try easing yourself in with pre-prepared plant-based bacon from your local store.

P.S.: It’s getting darker and colder in the wizarding world, so if the above recipes don’t tickle your fancy, why don’t you Incendio a fire and cozy up with a bowl of porridge and treacle? We covered a variety of porridge recipes in our 10 Vegan Recipes from “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban” article.
