Besides smoothies, I haven’t found a ton of recipes that pack a protein punch, without eggs! I used to have eggs for breakfast, pretty much every morning, just a couple of years ago. 

That was until I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s thyroid disease. My functional medicine doctor recommended that I abstain from eggs. So, that led me to get more creative in the kitchen. Guess it wasn’t all bad…I mean, it gave me a reason to start this recipe blog!  Hopefully helping  other people with food sensitivities find alternative recipes too.

Which is the perfect segway into this Sweet Potato Breakfast Hash. It’s loaded with great complex carbohydrates, clean protein and even veggies. This dish is not only simple to make but you really can swap out any of the ingredients and use what you have on hand. Maybe you have regular potatoes at home right now? Or zucchini growing fresh in your garden? Don’t have breakfast sausage? That’s ok, you can use bacon instead! The point is to make it simple and if possible just use one pan to get it done.

A little side note about breakfast sausage. Typically it’s filled with nitrates, fillers and not the best quality of protein. That’s why I really like Bilinski’s Organic Apple Breakfast Chicken Sausage! Their mission is to make better food for a better world. You can read more about Bilinski’s and where to find them  here: https://bilinski.com

I’m really picky about ingredients, which is why I’m sharing other companies you might not know about. Sharing is caring right?

This breakfast can definitely be made ahead of time for meal prep or even on a weekend during a slow morning.

If you do have people at your table who prefer an egg or two, no problem! Take out a portion of hash for yourself, then crack a couple eggs on top of the rest. Cover the pan for a few minutes while those eggs cook to an over easy or over medium and voila, now you can serve everyone!
