There are a number of breakfast options like cereals, breakfast bars, sweet yogurts, and fruity-muffins tend to be high in carbs and processed sugars and low in protein. In fact, recently I was at the grocery store scanning the overwhelming wall of yogurt in search of one of my go-to yogurts. I picked up one that I thought could be healthy and low and behold, it contained 32 grams of sugars! WOW – that’s equivalent to 8 teaspoons of sugar! No thanks. While these sugary, carby breakfast options may taste good, they’ll most likely leave you with a growling stomach and mad craving for more sugar just a few hours later. These types of foods do not do justice for blood sugar management which results in a sluggish metabolism and a craving for more. A healthy breakfast is one that contains a quality source or protein, a good source of fiber and is low in sugar. Like our Whole30-friendly Brussels Sprouts Sweet Potato Sausage Hash!
A key ingredient in this hash is our favorite sausage made by Pederson’s Natural Farms.
It’s hard to put into words how tasty Pederson’s Natural Farms sausage is. When I made this sausage for the very first time for my husband and I, his exact words were, “I haven’t tasted pork sausage like this in a long time, if ever!” It’s made with the perfect blend of spices, isn’t overly salty and you just can’t beat the quality of their entire line of products. Pederson’s Natural Farms pork is raised without the use of antibiotics or growth stimulants and fed no animal by-products. In addition it’s:
Minimally processed No artificial ingredients No preservatives No added nitrates or nitrites No gluten No lactose No MSG No sugar added products available (including 8 Whole30-friendly products)
Best of all, if you can’t find Pederson’s Natural Farms products in your area, you can purchase our favorite products at The Simple Grocer store and it’s free shipping. Both Italian Sausage or Spicy Breakfast Sausage taste great in our Brussels Sprouts Sweet Potato Sausage Hash recipe. The Simple Grocer is about about ‘whole living, made simple’. All products you find on The Simple Grocer are Humanely Raised, Responsibly Processed, Paleo Friendly, and Whole30 approved.
‘Hashing’ it up for breakfast is an easy way to sneak in veggies first thing in the morning.
This Brussels Sprouts Sweet Potato Sausage Hash recipe combines ingredients that makes for quite an epic breakfast dish and one that’s full of flavor…..and full of veggies too. I recommend veggies with every meal…yup, even breakfast! You now have no excuses for fitting in veggies with breakfast because this hash is your answer.
Looking for an egg-free breakfast option?
If you have an egg-allergy (like Jessica) or are highly sensitive to eggs, this recipe is for you too! Serving an egg with this hash is totally optional. You can find all of our egg-free breakfast recipes here.
Cook once, eat twice.
This is one of those recipes that you can make ahead and reheat during the days following. I’m a big fan of the cooking once, eating twice (or three or four times). I almost always make a double batch of this recipe (or our Sweet Potato Hash with Bacon OR Butternut Squash and Apple Hash with Sausage) on the weekend so that I have plenty of leftovers to enjoy during the week. To reheat, I simply throw the hash in a skillet over medium heat with just a little water and cook until heated through. It makes for an easy and hearty breakfast that’s tasty too! So.much.better than that sugary bowl of cereal or sweet muffin. Better for your blood sugars and better for your waistline.
And ps: Brussels Sprouts Sweet Potato Sausage Hash makes for one hell of a dinner too!
This recipe is well-balanced and most definitely hearty enough to serve as a dinner (or supper). Breakfast for dinner…yes please!
Get ready to hash it up with this full of flavor, satisfying breakfast!
