If you like make-ahead breakfast recipes, this breakfast meal prep bowls recipe is for you. I’m sure if you make this recipe, you’ll start your day well. Sweet potato frittata, roasted cashews, and berries are all you need to have a complete breakfast every day of the week.
We usually have dinner early in the evening. Also, I usually don’t eat a lot in the evening since it helps me to sleep better. That being said, you can imagine that I wake up a bit hungry and ready to have breakfast.
Breakfast is one of my favorite meals of the day, and I always try to make sure I eat well in the morning to start my day right. Smoothies, breakfast burrito, chocolate chip pancakes with maple syrup on top, scrambled eggs, or toast with peanut butter or almond butter are great for breakfast.
However, some mornings are so busy for most of us that it’s difficult to have a good breakfast meal, am I right? Well, the answer is no, if you have your meal-prep breakfasts waiting for you in the fridge.
Isn’t it great waking up in the morning and having a hearty, homemade breakfast ready for you to dig in? You not only will save yourself some time and energy, but also you’ll have a great breakfast even during the busy morning days.
For these healthy breakfast meal-prep bowls, I made sweet potato frittata because I love having eggs in the morning, and I also serve it with some berries and cashews.
You can also replace berries with any other fruits, like bananas and strawberries. If you prefer, you can serve this amazing frittata with some chopped veggies, breakfast cookies, hashes, granola with Greek yogurt, roasted potatoes, and breakfast sausage.
This recipe is great also because it’s freezer-friendly. If you prefer, instead of making this frittata in a baking dish, you can make it in muffin tins to have egg muffins. When you make this recipe in muffin tins is easier to freeze.

What ingredients I need to make these Healthy Breakfast Meal Prep Bowls?
The best part of this breakfast meal is that you probably already have all the ingredients you need in your fridge and pantry to make this recipe. Here are the main ingredients you’ll need:
· Onion: You can use red, yellow, or white onions.
· Red bell pepper: To make these healthy breakfast meal-prep bowls, I use red bell pepper, but you can replace it with yellow or green too. It’s totally up to you. Got extra bell peppers? Try my Chicken and Bell Peppers Skillet.
· Roasted sweet potato: This is the queen of this dish. Love, love, love the addition of roasted sweet potato in here. But if you don’t have sweet potato, you can use any other root of your preference.
· Spinach: You have to add some greens in this frittata, right? Kale or collards go really well with this recipe, too.
· Then, you’ll need eggs, almond milk (cow’s milk works too), and some seasoning.
· Also, to make your healthy breakfast meal-prep bowls complete and even more filling, I added some berries (or any other fruit of your preference) and cashews. You can also add boiled egg or veggies aside.
How to make these healthy breakfast meal-prep bowls:
· It’s super simple, and you’ll make it very fast too. First, you need to roast the sweet potato with olive oil, salt, and pepper for about 15-20 minutes at 425ºF.
· Meanwhile, sauté the veggies that are not already cooked. Set aside.
· Beat the eggs in a bowl, and then add almond milk and the seasoning (for extra flavors).
· Pour the egg mixture into the skillet where you sauté the veggies and add roasted sweet potato.
· Bring to the oven and bake for about 10-15 minutes or until it’s cooked through.
· Slice and place the slices between 4-5 glass containers. Add some berries, and when it’s time to eat, add some cashews. So good, and this meal prep recipe will last in the fridge up to 4 days.

Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

- ¼ tsp crushed red peppers
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
- Salt and pepper
Serve it with:
- Roasted cashews

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Over medium-high heat, heat oil in a 9-inch cast iron skillet.
- Add onion and cook until slightly golden brown
- Add peppers and cook for 3-5 minutes.
- Add roasted sweet potato and spinach. Stir well and cook for 1 minute.
- In a medium bowl whisk eggs, almond milk, red flake peppers, dried parsley, salt, and pepper.
- Pour the egg mixture into the cast iron skillet, making sure eggs cover the vegetable mixture.
- When the edges of the frittata begin to set, move the skillet to the oven.
- Bake it for about 10-15 minutes or until frittata is completely cooked.
Tips
- Meal-prepping:
Divide frittata between four glass meal prep containers. Add berries aside and place in the fridge for up to 4 days. When it’s time to eat add some roasted cashews too (if you prefer). Enjoy! - I like red bell peppers as they’re the sweetest, but you can use orange or yellow bell peppers if you’d prefer.
- Feel free to swap the spinach for kale or collard greens.
- Be careful not to overbake the eggs as they’ll become rubbery.

Erin says
I thought this was a very easy and delicious breakfast recipe. I did add a few more seasonings to my eggs and also seasoned the sweet potatoes (cooked in air fryer). I was thinking next time I may add some turkey sausage or turkey bacon for extra protein. I do like that it’s still delicious without cheese and meat!
Olivia Ribas says
So glad you enjoyed the breakfast recipe! Your additions of extra seasonings to the eggs and seasoning the sweet potatoes in the air fryer sound fantastic. Adding turkey sausage or bacon is a great idea for that extra protein kick.
