Egg, Sweet Potato & Veggie Power Plate

This isn’t your average “clean eating” breakfast — it’s real food, cooked with intention, designed to ground your energy and fuel your day.

Think golden sweet potatoes, caramelized onions, and bell peppers sautéed with a handful of spinach — topped with perfectly cooked eggs. It’s vibrant, nutrient-dense, and just indulgent enough to make Monday mornings feel like something worth waking up for.

No fads. No 17-step smoothie rituals. Just strength, warmth, and a dash of magic in your skillet.

💪 Why This Breakfast Works

🥚 Pasture-Raised Eggs
Protein, healthy fats, and choline to keep your brain focused and your hormones happy.
Fun fact: The deeper the yolk color, the richer the nutrients — it’s literally sunshine in edible form.

🍠 Sweet Potatoes
Your grounding carb queen — loaded with potassium, vitamin A, and slow-digesting carbs for steady energy.
Fun fact: Sweet potatoes are actually part of the morning glory family, not potatoes. Translation? She’s not like other roots — she’s glowier.

🧅🌶️ Onion & Red Bell Pepper
Your vitamin C and antioxidant dream team. Together, they brighten flavor, boost immunity, and make your kitchen smell way fancier than it should at 7 a.m.

🌿 Spinach
Iron, magnesium, and plant magic — the greens that balance out your fire.
Add it right at the end to keep it vibrant and full of life.
