Savory Yogurt Breakfast Bowl (High-Protein & Gut-Healthy)

You all know that I am a more delicious protein breakfast gal. Greek yogurt and sweet potato breakfast bowl It’s a real hit. Yogurt is a creamy contrast with vegetables and nuts, and is layered with your ingredients that you find to be far more exciting than the usual yogurt parfait situation.

Sweet potatoes may not be the most anticipated breakfast star, but how about roasting them in a swirl of Greek yogurt, avocado and greens and squeezing them into this bowl? Game changer. It’s full of fiber, healthy fats and protein, making it one of the rare breakfasts that you’ll be satisfied all the way to lunch.

This is the second recipe in the delicious breakfast bowl series. The smoked salmon breakfast bowl I shared a few weeks ago is the perfect addition to your rotation.

How to make this bowl

Start by spreading a generous swoosh of full-fat Greek yogurt at the bottom of a shallow bowl. Remember: You eat with your eyes first and there’s something about plating your breakfast in a clean way that makes your mornings completely romantic.

Add a handful of fresh baby spinach on one side and a roasted sweet potato cubes on the other side. (I like to prepare batches at the beginning of the week with olive oil, salt and pepper. Roast until golden brown.)

Then add half of the avocado and slice it or slice it to the left. Finish with freshly chopped parsley and chives (or, honestly, the fresh herbs you have in your hand), a drizzle of good old olive oil, and a squeeze of lemon. Sprinkle hemp seeds and pumpkin seeds for extra protein Delishhhh Crunch.

It’s fresh and satisfying, and feels like something you’ll get at your favorite brunch spot. Take this recipe as a sign to treat yourself.

Why does this bowl work well?

This bowl hits a magical combo of protein + fat + fiber. This is a triple sequence of blood sugar balance and energy throughout the day.

• protein: Greek yogurt is rich in protein to help repair muscles and support satiety. I love fage, chobani, or siggi’s. You will not find one of them in the fridge.
• fiber: Sweet potatoes and spinach provide complex carbohydrates and fiber for gut health and digestion. This is a very good way to get a serving of green in AM.
• Healthy Fats: Avocados, olive oil, and seeds will give your skin and brain the love they deserve. Glow Baby Glow!
• Antioxidants: Fresh herbs and greens fight inflammation and give the bowl an extra layer of flavor. Honestly, when it comes to health and flavor, I am a huge advocate for a “more” approach to fresh herbs.

How to prepare meals

Especially with Sunday meal preparation plans, you can throw them together within 10 minutes.

• Roast the sweet potatoes Place in the fridge for up to 5 days at the beginning of the week.
• Wash and dry the spinach So you’re ready to grab.
• Keep toppings in the freezer. I store hemp seeds and pumpkin seeds in a mason jar in the freezer (to prevent rot). That way I always have a fun, crispy topping ready.
