An easy and healthy breakfast, this Sweet Potato Broccoli Frittata packs veggies, carbs, protein, and healthy fats and is paleo and Whole30 approved!
September means back to school and back to a somewhat normal routine for most. Summer is definitely my favorite season, but I’m ready for fall and a more structured schedule. I’m ready to not travel as much and be home more often doing my regularly scheduled activities – working out, cooking food at home, and just relaxing.
Although, this month is going to be absolutely crazy for me. I was just in Asheville, NC, we are heading to Connecticut this weekend, then I’m in Baltimore, and then we will be in Portugal for 2 weeks. It is going to be insane. With me being gone for a lot of the month and Michael holding down the fort in Austin, I’ve been trying to stock him up with lots of food to have on hand while I’m gone.
Eating vegetables at anytime during the day is easy for me – I just love them and they never get old. On the other hand, Michael is known (yes, I’m calling him out) to not really include that many veggies in his meals unless I am there making/telling him to eat them. Granted he has gotten so much better over the past few years, but there is always room for improvement right?!
That’s where this sweet potato broccoli frittata comes in! I started making this for some meal prep clients because it was so easy and figured I needed to make it for Michael as well. It works great as a grab-n-go breakfast for the weekday, just prep it on Sunday, or you can make it for brunch over the weekend! It’s less than 10 ingredients and I’m sure you already have most of them on hand. I like to top it with some avocado and hot sauce alongside some more veggies (because yes, veggies) for a quick and easy breakfast.

Delicious!! My family isn’t as big into veggies as I am, but they love this! I added in some cheddar on top after it was done baking and it turned out perfect.

I’m glad you’ve found ways to pack in veggies for Michael; it really does take creativity! And you have had such a busy summer; I actually switched places with most people for the summer. I only went on one trip, but in a few days we’re going to Europe for 5 weeks. O_O So I guess my September will be busy too. O_o But I’m looking forward to a calm November and December, Lord willing. 🙂
Kelly says
Oh my gosh, that sounds awesome! Are you traveling all over Europe? 5 weeks is definitely a lot of time to see so many amazing places! I’m so excited to go to Portugal and explore a new country.
