As a kid, cereal was my favorite breakfast food. (I mean, who doesn’t love the chocolate-y milk left over after a bowl of cocoa-flavored puffed cereal?) Nowadays, I lean on protein and veggies as my breakfast mainstays, but from time to time, I still get a hankering for something a bit sweet. Enter my Sweet Potato Breakfast Bowls. With lots of fiber and slow-digesting carbs, these won’t put you into a sugar coma. Plus, you can roast the sweet potatoes the night before to save time. Add in some collagen powder or serve with a side of eggs for a protein boost.

Change It Up

Add a side of eggs for more protein.
Make savory bowls with the same sweet potato purée but topped with sautéed spinach, sautéed mushrooms, bacon, and a fried egg.
