Sweet Potato Breakfast Bowls

I never would have imagined that sweet potatoes would be on a breakfast menu, but they actually are a very healthy way to start the day. These breakfast bowls are full of fiber, healthy carbs, and Vitamin A. When topped with almond butter you get the added benefits of protein, calcium, and healthy fats.

The toppings you use on the bowls are completely up to you! I used raisins, shaved almonds, pecans, and almond butter. But you can add chia seeds, other fruits or nuts, etc.
