Vegan Avocado Fritters with Cashew Hollandaise

Hearty and vegan? Is it possible? Yes, of course! If avocado toast is already a linchpin of your morning routine, these fritters might give it some stiff competition. A leisurely morning works best for this recipe, since the fritters take a bit of time to assemble, but one bite and all the work is worth it. Perfect recipe, and it will leave you just as satisfied and nourished when you have the right group of ingredients and a few key recipes at your fingertips.

The fritters taste kind of like fried guacamole, thanks to the cilantro and lime, and the use of kale and quinoa is especially clever because they add both a leafy green and a protein source to your meal. Two fritters and a healthy dose of vegan cashew hollandaise are more than enough to keep you full through a workout and well past lunchtime.
