Creamy Sweet Potato Breakfast Bowl (FOOD PHOTO SHOOT)
Wow, September disappeared into October, how did that happen? The days are quickly getting shorter and the chill in the air seems to be here to stay so I'm cozying up my recipes and I hope that you're as excited about this as I am. This sweet potato bowl is a current favorite of mine with all of it's comfort-food vibes and versatility. During the summer while I was recovering from my 4-wheeler accident this became my go-to breakfast.

It's definitely not the most common morning fare but honestly it shouldn't be all that strange considering sweet potatoes are a staple around the holiday season. Have you ever just wished you could find an acceptable way to eat sweet potato casserole (which, let's be real, is basically a dessert item) all year long? Well, I'm here to make your wish come true, my friends! It's also a great source of protein but the protein doesn't come from a powder. In fact, you may be surprised to read it comes from egg whites, that's right! Much like the popular egg white oatmeal recipes that you may be familiar with, this sweet tater bowl gets it's wonderful consistency from the same basic ingredient.

It's thick, it's creamy, it's fast, and it's definitely filling. Plus, it's a little bit similar to a bowl of oats or cream of wheat. Just another form of warm carbs, right? I love to top it with all kinds of things based on my cravings but my go-to is always berries of course. Aside from that I'll maybe add Greek yogurt, nut butter, and then something crunchy or chewy like granola or, as in the pictured bowl, squares of a protein bar. Ooooh, and a sprinkle of pumpkin seeds to go with my Autumn mood.

I've also tried a vegan version of this using protein powder in place of the egg whites and pudding mix and it's just as good and then I made a chocolate version that was like dessert -> oh my goodness YES! So let me know if you want me to share those versions.

I hope you're enjoying you're month so far and I quickly wanted to mention that I was so deeply sorry to hear about the events in Las Vegas recently and my heart and prayers go out to all of those affected. At times like these it's easy to feel overwhelmed by the ripple effects and sadness of it all but that's when we need to lean on each other for support the most. Stay strong you guys!
