Sweet Potato Breakfast Bowl
This Sweet Potato Breakfast Bowl recipe is my go-to whole30 or paleo breakfast. If you miss having oatmeal, this vegan sweet potato breakfast bowl is for you!
One of the most important meals of the day is a whole food breakfast.
This paleo breakfast bowl is just that. It’s also nice to have a whole30 breakfast with no eggs for a change!
Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE eggs but it is also nice to enjoy a paleo breakfast with no eggs when you want variety.
Did I mention I am doing the Whole 30 challenge again? Yup, that’s right! And with my new staying at home all the time lifestyle I think I’ll need to stick to it for a few more than the thirty days to feel more like myself again if you know what I mean.
But, I am in my groove with it now as we are seven days in as I write this. I like doing this particular challenge because you can have as much real food as you want. Just no sugar or dairy which are the foods I tend to binge on so it’s a good thing for me.

I have such a weird relationship with sweet potatoes. I LOVE them, and yet I find it hard to think of things to do with them. Consequently, I find I generally eat them in meals made by other people, or at restaurants. But I think I can definitely get on board with the whole heart breakfast idea! The almond butter is a perfect way to top it off too. Thanks for sharing!
Almond butter is MANDATORY! Thanks, Sean. 🙂
So simple and yummy. This was a great oatmeal replacement, thanks!
Agreed! Thanks, Sabrina. 🙂
