This recipe round-up includes 7 delicious sweet potato breakfast recipes to change up your breakfast game! But first…

Sweet Potatoes for Breakfast?

If this seems like a weird concept, then you’re not alone! I didn’t even think of adding sweet potatoes to breakfast until the last few years. However, this is a great way to add more color to your diet.

A few ways to incorporate a sweet potato breakfast include:

• Sweet potato oatmeal
• Sweet potato breakfast hash
• Sweet potato bowl (either savory with eggs or a bit sweeter)

Unfortunately, sweet potatoes have been vilified because they contain carbohydrates. But, sweet potatoes are so nutrient packed and also offer a great source of fiber! There’s no reason to fear carbohydrates. However, if you struggle with sugar cravings and “snacky hunger” throughout the day, then you may want to add more filling protein and fat to your breakfast!

Luckily, there are tons of ways to do this with sweet potatoes. Plus, these bad boys provide a natural sweetness that can satisfy your sweet tooth while also providing great nutritional benefit.

Sweet potatoes are one of the highest sources of vitamin A. You almost double your daily vitamin A requirements in just a 1/2 cup of mashed sweet potatoes. This vitamin is essential for healthy skin and eyes. Plus, it contains a strong antioxidant called beta-carotene, which helps fight aging and protects your body from illness!
