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.

    Is it a little dry mixing the sweet potato and protein powder? I assume you reheat the potato before mixing together? Sounds wonderful. I want to make using dr axe vanilla bone broth protein powder

      Hi Nicole, Yes – I typically reheat the sweet potato before mixing in with the collagen protein. I haven’t heard of the Dr. Axe one but it sounds great! Hope you enjoy!

    Hello Ashley, I am getting ready to start the whole 30 program. I love this idea for breakfast. Any advice before I start?

      Hi Lori. Awesome you’re doing a whole30 – they can be really helpful! I would check out a couple of my posts here Thoughts & Reflections and 5 Healthy Habits to Stick with Post-Whole30. It’s hard for me to give advice because I don’t know the “why” behind your whole30 to begin with. For some people it’s really easy but for others it is tough. A lot of it is a mental game and just being open to trying to foods and combinations. It can be really difficult to be in public situations or going out to eat but it can be done – the Whole30 Instagram accounts are really helpful with giving tips for that kind of stuff as well.
      Overall it’s just 30 days and is a great way to get more whole foods into your diet. I still find myself going for more paleo and whole30 style meals just because that is naturally what I’ve come to like. But obviously always room for other foods. My biggest thing after Whole30 (and if you’re doing reintroduction) is balance and moderation. Knowing yourself and really listening to your body.
      Good luck!

    I know this post is from a year ago but I just wanted to say thank you! I was looking for a way to use sweet potatoes for breakfast that would be Bright Line eating friendly. I love the idea of a warm sweet potato bowl! I don’t use protein powder but figure I could mix in some chopped pecans and cottage cheese with pineapple. I look forward to having it tomorrow morning :).

    Thank you thank you thank you. I am starting Whole 30 soon and I am not suppose to have eggs so it has been hard finding breakfast recipes without eggs in them. This I think will be a couple days a week choice for me as I can vary it up a bit if I need to.

      Hope it’s helpful Denise! Don’t be afraid to think outside of the box and even go for things like breakfast salads – maybe a big bed of greens or sautéed kale, avocado, breakfast sausage, hashed potatoes, etc. Good luck!
