01 -
Dice 2 lbs Yukon gold potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes. Dice 1 large red bell pepper and 1/2 yellow onion. Roughly chop 2 cups fresh spinach. This initial prep is crucial for your High Protein Freezer Friendly Breakfast Bowls You'll Love.
02 -
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced Yukon gold potatoes and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender and lightly browned. Season with 1/2 tsp kosher salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Remove and set aside.
03 -
In the same skillet, cook 1 lb lean ground turkey or chicken breakfast sausage over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until fully browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat and set the cooked sausage aside.
04 -
Add the diced 1/2 yellow onion and 1 large red bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened. Stir in 1 tsp garlic powder and 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, building flavor for your High Protein Freezer Friendly Breakfast Bowls You'll Love.
05 -
In a large bowl, whisk 12 large eggs with 1/4 cup 2% milk, 1/2 tsp kosher salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the sautéed vegetables and scramble until just set but still moist.
06 -
Return the cooked potatoes and browned sausage to the skillet with the scrambled eggs and vegetables. Stir in 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese and 2 cups fresh spinach until the spinach wilts and the cheese melts. This completes your High Protein Freezer Friendly Breakfast Bowls You'll Love.
07 -
Divide the breakfast bowl mixture evenly into 6 freezer-safe containers. Allow the bowls to cool completely to room temperature before sealing them tightly. For the best High Protein Freezer Friendly Breakfast Bowls You'll Love, ensure they are fully cooled before freezing.
# Notes:
01 -
Store cooled bowls in the freezer for up to 3 months. Reheat from frozen in the microwave for 3-4 minutes, stirring halfway, until heated through.
02 -
Feel free to swap Yukon gold potatoes for sweet potatoes, or use different vegetables like mushrooms or zucchini. Any shredded cheese works well too!
03 -
Serve with a dash of hot sauce (optional) for an extra kick, or a side of avocado for healthy fats.
