When I first started experimenting with eating more protein for breakfast it was a challenge. But I created this versatile and simple hash and it changed my morning (and my whole day)!

The thing I probably like most about this hash is that I can double the batch and my husband and I will have enough for 3-4 days of breakfasts because it reheats so well (in the skillet or microwave)! I love to pop the sweet potatoes back in the air fryer for a tasty and crispy reheat on those as well (but the microwave works too)! Just be sure to store the potatoes in a separate container from the hash so they don’t get soggy!

I will also share a quick hack for extra busy mornings. The Primal Palate Breakfast Blend! You can grab this at Thrive Market, one of my favorite online grocery stores for healthy and specialty items!

So my quick hack is simple – just add about 1 Tbsp of this Breakfast Blend spice to the ground meat, brown it and call it good! If I don’t have time to chop onions, garlic or prep the veggies, this can be a great shortcut. BUT, add the apples and zucchini when you can b/c your going to get lots of great fiber and nutrients from them as well as a nice sweetness from the apples! You won’t be disappointed!

Roast or Air Fry:

• 2-3 Large sweet potatoes (skin on or off) cubed into ~1″ pieces
• 1 Tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
• 1/2 tsp sea salt
• Combine all together so that sweet potatoes are evenly coated with oil and salt.
• Air fry for 15 mins at 400F or roast in oven for 15 mins for 400F, mix 1/2 way

Hash Ingredients:

• 1 Tbsp of fat that is solid at room temperature (lard, coconut oil, tallow)
• 1 Lb plain ground meat of choice (turkey, beef, pork, bison, venison, lamb, elk)
• 1 small onion
• 1/2 tsp sea salt
• 1/2 tsp oregano
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp turmeric
• 1 zucchini, grated
• 1 apple, grated
• 1 clove of fresh garlic, finely diced
• Dark leafy greens, chopped (optional)

Directions:

• Roast or air fry the sweet potatoes as described above.
• Add fat to hot skillet over medium high heat (cast iron or stainless steel is best)
• Add onion and sauté until translucent
• Add ground meat and chop up into smaller pieces
• Add salt, oregano, cinnamon, and turmeric
• Cook the meat until just starting to brown
• Add grated zucchini, apple and garlic
• Cook until zucchini and apple are soft and incorporated throughout the ground meat
• If adding the dark leafy greens (for a great mineral boost!), add them at the end and cook just until wilted, stirring them into the hash.
• Remove from heat and serve with sweet potatoes

Keeps well for breakfast for the week so double or even triple the batch!

Optional Toppings:

• Avocado
• Kimchi or Sauerkraut
