High Protein Breakfast Bowl
This is my go to breakfast when I want something fast and high protein. It keeps you full for hours and is filled with so many nutrient dense Whole Foods!
Ingredients:
-Pasture raised eggs
-Japanese or normal sweet potato
-Turkey Bacon
-Mini bell peppers
-Red onion
-Spinach
-Sprouts
-Arugula
-Avocado
-Tomato
-Lemon
-Garlic powder, salt, pepper, tajin, hot sauce
-Dice the bell peppers and red onion and add to a pan with butter and spinach. Sautée until the spinach is wilted and onion is slightly translucent/soft. Add two eggs in the pan and scramble over low heat.( I add extra egg whites to mine to increase the protein) Turn the heat off when the eggs are still slightly undercooked to prevent them from becoming too dry.
-Stab the sweet potato with a knife on all sides, wrap in a soaking wet paper towel and microwave for 4 mins or until tender. Remove the skin and dice into cubes.
-Airfry the turkey bacon according to package or until crispy ( I do 8-9 mins at 400)
-Mash the avocado with lemon juice, garlic powder, and pepper. Dice the avocado and tomato.
-Assemble the bowl with the cubed sweet potato, eggs and sautéed vegetables, turkey bacon, avocado, and tomato. Garnish with the sprouts and arugula and top with hot sauce if desired.( I like the brands Truff truffle hot sauce). Season with tajin, salt, and pepper.
