Sweet Potato Breakfast Hash
Salty, caramelized pancetta, and sweet potatoes make this hash a super tasty addition to your breakfast routine.
The sweet potatoes in this breakfast hash will give you a nice chunk of healthy carbs to start your morning off right.
This recipe makes enough to eat all week – or just enough to make for a fancy lunch with friends. It calls for 6 eggs but keep in mind that you can always add more eggs if you want to have more protein.
Each component of the Meal Prep Bowl can be adjusted to meet your nutritional needs.
My goal is to get you to look at the components of each Meal Prep Bowl as their own part.
- Protein: Adjust the number of eggs to get the right amount of protein. I usually have 2 eggs – no egg whites here. Each egg adds about 6 grams of protein and 4 grams of fat.
- Carbohydrates: The sweet potatoes are a healthy carbohydrate and contain prebiotic fiber that feeds healthy gut bacteria.
- Fat: The yolk contains all the healthy fat! Not to mention, if you cook them perfectly the runny yolks are like a magic sauce.
I want to convince you to eat real food and stop worrying about every single calorie
Understand the health benefits of eating real food and listening to your body instead of stressing over every macro that crosses your lips.
Most of us just need to find some balance and learn how to eat when we are hungry and stop when we have had enough. And as part of that, choose foods that nourish us. That’s not so hard, is it?
