Oh man oh man you guys… half way through this Whole30!! WOOOO. As much as I’ve been complaining on Instagram (Yeah, I can admit that. I’ve totally been a tiny bit of a Bitter Betty, Negative Nancy, if you will) I have been feeling much better mentally these past few days. And it’s not like I wasn’t aware that my attitude the first couple weeks–the second week especially–was all wrong. I knew that it was. I can’t tell you how many times I thought to myself “Well I got myself into this mess, and I can surely get myself out…”

Or the fact that I was thinking “Yeahhh I’m done.”

OR how I was maybe thinking up in my head a post titled “That one time I quit Whole30” … pretty much every day since… January 3rd–my second full day of Whole30.

BUT I’ve also been reminding myself that I am doing this for a variety of reasons and do I REALLY want to quit? No, I don’t. Is it hard? Yeah… it actually is. Even for someone who eats pretty well on a regular basis, this shit is kind of hard. But like the Whole30 says “It’s not THAT hard”. And really, it’s not. Sometimes I get lazy with my meals and I just eat scrambled eggs, potatoes and avocado for dinner. But that is my own fault. Some days I don’t feel like eating leftovers but I do it anyway… I’m definitely learning some things about myself that I am trying to reflect on. I’ll be sure to compile those things later this month.

For now though, we’ve got a Whole30 breakfast bowl that is super simple and I just had to share the full recipe with you all here. I’ve been enjoying this as my post-workout morning bowl and I cannot get enough. Of course this bowl isn’t just for the Whole30 people, it’s a great way to change up your morning breakfast routine if you’re looking for a gluten-free/grain-free warm bowl option.

Sweet Potato Protein Breakfast Bowl

I’m not a huge oatmeal person, but every once in a while I do find myself craving a bowl. And during this Whole30 of course there were several times I just really wanted a warm bowl of hearty oats, especially on these cold mornings after my workout. But oats=grain=not Whole30. And while I love the savory combo of sautéed kale with eggs, potatoes and avocado, I was getting a little tired of the savory breakfast. I came home from my workout one morning and decided I would just warm up a sweet potato for breakfast, add some protein and call it good.

I didn’t expect to be so satisfied with that as my meal but I was. And it held me over for hours–which never happens.

So this breakfast bowl recipe is paleo, gluten-free and vegetarian-friendly! And if you’re doing a Whole30 and just really need something other than eggs for breakfast, this one’s for you!

How to make Sweet Potato Breakfast Bowls

It’s ridiculously simple. All you need is a baked sweet potato (I’ve been prepping them in advance which I highly recommend) some protein powder (use collagen peptides or egg white protein for Whole30) and your favorite fruity toppings.

Mix it all together and top with some healthy fats such as hemp hearts, cacao nibs, nut butter… your choice!

It’s SO simple, I hope you give it a try. Whole30 or not, this breakfast bowl is a winner.

    Can the sweet potato be cut up and boiled instead of baked?

    Hi Ashley,

    I was wondering if it’s possible to peel and cube the sweet potatoes before baking them or should they be baked with the peel on?

      For this recipe you can just bake with the peel on, then remove once it’s fully cooked and you’re ready to mash. It’s much less work that peeling and cutting 🙂

    It’s a great idea but I’ve been sifting through the ads and popups trying to get the full recipe for a while and it’s just not giving it to me. Hopefully I’m not missing anything!!!

    One of my favorite recipes. I sometimes add sliced almonds or pomegranate seeds for my fat and fruit.

    Is the sweet potato served warm or cold? Have you tried eating it cold? I wanted to meal prep a few? Thanks!

      You can enjoy it warm or cold! Personally I prefer warm, but if you’re in a hurry you could definitely enjoy it cold with your favorite toppings.
