Okay, let’s go through the 3 main ingredients of this sweet potato hash & egg skillet real quick:

Sweet Potato Hash & Egg Ingredients

Sweet Potato

I’ll say it once and I’ll say it again, your body NEEDS carbs. Especially at dinner. Why? You’re about to fast (i.e. not eat) for a long time while you’re sleeping. And, guess what? Your body STILL needs energy when it does that! Having carbs at dinner will allow you to have sustained energy overnight and prevent you from waking up FAMISHED, which is likely to cause A.) hanger and B.) overeating.

Carrot

Carrots are my fave veggie. They’re loaded with nutrients like vitamin A, potassium, and fiber. I also love that they’re a little sweet. Such a powerhouse veggie!

Eggs

For eggs I make a point to choose Eggland’s Best Eggs. They have superior nutrition compared to your standard store brand eggs. They have 10x more vitamin E (fab for skin and joint health), 6x more vitamin D (helps keep those bones & muscles strong) and they’re an excellent- or should I say EGGcelent- source of Vitamin B2 (this helps to actually get the carbs you eat into energy you can use). Simply picking up the EG stamped eggs VS the ordinary brand will amp up the nutrition of any egg dish you make. Plus, I can honestly taste the difference between the two. The yolks in Eggland’s Best Eggs are so rich and flavorful. Seriously yolk porn goin’ on!

Don’t Fear The Yolk

I remember there was a solid 6 years where I never allowed myself to eat the yolk. I thought it was a “waste” of calories. But, lordy, was I wrong! I was able to overcoming my food rules of lowest calorie option = best option and now I LOVE eating Eggland’s Best Egg yolks. They taste delicious and help keep me satisfied for so long. If you’re avoiding the yolk because of obscure food rules, like sticking to the low-cal option you can snag my roadmap to finding food freedom here. I’m sharing my exact roadmap of how I made living with no food rules a reality!

Like I said, this sweet potato hash & eggs recipe is seriously the easiest. Plus, you can totally prep the veggies beforehand and throw them into a pan when you’re ready to get cookin’. Meal preppers rejoice!
