Sweet Potato Breakfast Bowl

Basically, the only breakfast I eat anymore. It's so good, good for you, and easy to make!  I am actually obsessed with sweet potatoes.  While away on vacation for 4 days, this is the only thing I craved.

Before you cook up this miracle veggie, I thought you should know some fun facts about our friend, the sweet potato!  Not only does it taste good, but after reading this, you might want to eat them with every meal (like I do!)

-Sweet potatoes are packed with massive amounts of vitamin A, a nutrient considered critical in maintaining proper eye health.

-One sweet potato contains nearly eight times an adult's daily need of this important vitamin, and, because the vitamin is fat-soluble rather than water-soluble, the body can store it for later use.

-The sweet potato also contains high amounts of calcium, iron, and vitamin E

-Sweet pos are loaded with potassium, magnesium, and phosphorous

-Sweet pos contain massive amounts of anti-inflammatory compounds, which are very important in the health of people with IBS, arthritis, gout, and other inflammation-related diseases.

- Sweet pos have very low glycemic indexes, weighing in 17!

-Sweet pos can actually help to fight against diabetes symptoms.

Now for the good stuff:

Sweet Po Brekky Bowl

This recipe is:
Gluten-Free
Dairy-Free
Paleo
Whole30 approved
Vegetarian (depending if you eat eggs)

Prep time: 5 min
Cook time: 5 min

Ingredients:
1 small sweet potato
1 handful of brussels sprouts
2 handfulls of mushrooms, sliced
2 handfulls of spinach, or more
2 eggs
coconut oil (I use the spray because it makes me use WAY less)

What to do:
1. Skin and shred the sweet potato: if you have a food processor with a shred tool, DEFINITELY use that!
2. Cut the ends off the brussels and cut them in half to be bite sized
3. Steam the brussels: I just put them in a bowl, splash of water, cover with plastic and microwave for a few minutes.
4. Cook the sweet po in pan with coco oil for a few minutes
5. Throw in the rest of the veggies except the brussels
6. Toss it all in a bowl together and top with 2 eggs, sunny side up, or however you like to eat eggs.  I think the runny yolk in this bowl is so good!

other additions: I have added green salsa to this, salt and pepper, cayenne pepper, sausage or kielbasa (get the pre-cooked Trader Joes kielbasa!) You can add or subtract anything really, just don't take out the sweet potatoes or eggs - thats what makes it so good!
