Breakfast Bowl

Breakfast Bowl

So I'm officially obsessed with breakfast foods and coming up with new combos to change up my morning egg routine. Lately the hubs has been making breakfast while I'm at the gym and it's ready when I get home. Two eggs, 1/2 turkey sausage and 1/2 baked sweet potato. It's simple, healthy and yummy. No complaints here except it doesn't give me the chance to experiment as much, or use up all the veggies in my fridge. One day last week he left early for work and I had to fend for myself. I almost whipped up a quick protein shake but after rummaging around in the fridge I decided to go with some kicked up eggs. It was the best breakfast bowl ever and I have made it for dinner twice since. It. is. so. good! My oldest step-son said the other day, "I will never get tired of eating this"! Winner, winner, breakfast bowls for dinner!

What I really want out of my breakfast is that it is real food, nutritious, flavorful and filling. This nailed all 4 of those things! There are so many healthy, tasty ingredients that work really well together so it's pretty much fail proof. Did you know that bell peppers have some of the highest amounts of vitamin C in food? Vitamin C helps with immune function, collagen production, cellular health, wound healing and helps us better absorb iron. Did you know that your body needs fat? It helps us absorb some vitamins and is needed for brain and organ health. Eat the avocado people...don't fear the fat! I tend to lean more toward Mexican flavors, and those are typically the things I have in my fridge, but you can always adjust to your tastes and preferences. Here is my breakfast bowl.
