Sweet Potato Breakfast Bowls 2 Ways (Sweet or Savory)

The next time you find yourself bored of breakfast, let this healthy bowl bring you back to food paradise. We can thank the sweet potato for getting us there.

Sweet potatoes are THE BOMB. They’re filling, incredibly healthy, and go with just about anything, making them the perfect way to switch up a mundane morning routine.

There are two ways to make these sweet potato breakfast bowls: sweet or savory.

Both bowls require a base of roasted sweet potato. From there, add your favorite ingredients, depending on your idea of the perfect bowl.

My favorite way? For the savory breakfast bowl: sweet potatoes, egg, avocado, spinach, bacon or sausage and salsa. For the “sweet” sweet potato bowl: sweet potatoes, Greek yogurt, honey,  granola, berries and nuts. The sky is the limit, so make these bowls how YOU want them.

🪄 Tips and Tricks

• I always buy large sweet potatoes and peel and dice them myself but to save on time, buy them pre-cut and cubed.
• One medium sweet potato will make two bowls. Make extra of your sweet potato base to have for the week so you can assemble fresh bowls every day. Each time, top with your favorite things. You’ll have a totally unique and different bowl every day.
• Sweet potatoes are perfect for BLW. Serve the roasted sweet potatoes on their own to babies 6 months and older.

🗒 Substitutions

• Use dairy-free yogurt, such as coconut milk yogurt, in place of Greek yogurt.
• Make a vegetarian tofu scramble by omitting the meat and adding tofu to your savory bowl.

🗒 Optional Additional Toppings
