Whole30 Sweet Potato Breakfast Bowls Wellplated Com

Made with cooked sweet potatoes, nut butter, and warm spices, it’s grain free, ultra nutritious, and warm and cozy too. The secret to this bowl’s allure is to heat the cooked sweet potatoes on the stove to intensify their flavor, then whipping them with a hand mixer. Heating gives the sweet potatoes an incredibly rich flavor, and whipping creates a fluffy texture will make you feel like you’re being served at a fancy bed and breakfast (anyone own one and want to invite me over?). The sweet potato base reheats nicely, so feel free to make a big batch of this breakfast for meal prep. One of the most common requests I receive this time of year is for vegetarian Whole30 breakfasts. Since you can’t eat oatmeal on Whole30, meat and egg-based breakfasts (like the sausage in this Whole30 Breakfast Casserole) are a natural choice. That said, even for non-vegetarians, eating meat every morning—then often again at lunch and dinner—loses its luster. Hence, the popularity of these Whole 30 Vegetarian Power Bowls, which are savory and delicious any time of day. But what about when you are tired of eggs AND meat AND savory items in general? (Whole30 rules out added sugars too, so I also receive many requests for Whole30 sweet breakfast recipes.) That’s where these (100% naturally sweet, sugar-free) sweet potato Whole30 breakfast bowls come in! A Whole30 sweet breakfast with NO eggs, these easy breakfast bowls will be a welcome reprieve. You also certainly don’t need to be following Whole30 to enjoy them! Ben and I don’t adhere to any particular diet, and we’ve been loving starting our mornings with these filling, nutritious bowls. Like many of you, I’m in reset mode looking to up my vegetable intake. One of the best ways to make sure you get your servings of veggies is to start with them in the morning. It’s why I’m sharing a smoothie recipe every week this month (this Green Smoothie kicked us off).

Cooked sweet potatoes are wonderfully, naturally sweet without any sugar required.They pair beautifully with warm spices you already love at breakfast (think cinnamon and nutmeg).A touch of nut butter enriches the sweet potatoes and makes this healthy recipe rich and satisfying.

At the same time, however, I’m often chilly when I wake up, and a cold smoothie doesn’t always appeal. It’s nice to have a warm option like these breakfast bowls. You’ll go wild for the fluffy texture too!

How to Make Whole30 Sweet Potato Breakfast Bowls

Wondering what you can eat for breakfast on Whole30? Look no further than this blend of sweet potatoes, almond butter, and almond milk. To make the bowls extra-filling, top them off with Whole30-friendly ingredients like pepitas, chopped nuts, and select fruits like blueberries and pomegranate seeds. You can eat bananas on Whole30 in moderation, so if that works for your diet plan, a few slices of bananas taste excellent atop these bowls as well. If you aren’t following a Whole30 diet, you can use as much fruit as you like or add your favorite granola. Those looking for a Paleo breakfast can follow this recipe as is, or add a drizzle of honey or pure maple syrup, though personally, I find the bowls sweet enough just as they are.
