This week is BREAKFAST week, and we’re starting it off with these Sweet Potato Hash Browns!

Who here loves breakfast food? Ok, those who just raised your hand, we can be friends. Breakfast is by far my fave meal, for a few reasons. The first being…breakfast food. Like, nuff said, am I right?

Never ending combos of creamy oatmeal, veggie omelets, avocado toast, smoothie bowls, waffles, pancakes, bacon, granola…AAAAH. Are you now feeling explosive feelings of happiness and gratitude for breakfast foods? Cause I am.

Obviously.

The second reason I love breakfast, is that it’s the first meal of the day. Which means, clean slate. I don’t have a day full of eating behind me, with maybe one too many white chocolate chip cookies in my belly. Nope, I wake up hungry and ready to start the day off with a nutritious, energy-packed meal. And these sweet potato hash browns most definitely fall under that category.

These Sweet Potato Hash Browns make the perfect breakfast! Crisp on the outside with a hint of coconut flavor, garnished with sea salt and green onion.
Whip up some spinach-filled scrambled eggs to go with it, slice an avocado on top and you’ve got a deliciously healthy breakfast that will keep you nice and full till lunch.

So, how about we make a goal together. When we wake up and start rummaging through our kitchens with “what’s for breakfast” on the mind, let’s try to make it a healthy meal. Because if you start the day off right, you’re much more likely to make smart, healthy “food decisions” throughout the day.

Cheers to breakfast.

    Yum! Love the idea of using sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes!
