Whether you’re trying to get to work, get the kids to school, or both, mornings can get busy, and there is nothing worse than skipping breakfast or grabbing a subpar meal from the drive-through while you get a coffee. Fortunately, these meal prep breakfast bowls are a great solution.

Though they require some prep time, these high-protein breakfast bowls are well worth the effort. They deliver the perfect balance of convenience and fuel, keeping you full and energized until lunch.

Ingredients + Substitutions

  • Eggs – To add some protein and make the scrambled eggs. The recipe calls for whole eggs, but you can use eggs white if preferred. See the notes section of the recipe card for details.
  • Sausages – To add some more protein. The recipe calls for turkey sausage, but you can use pork sausages, Italian sausages, breakfast sausage, or even ground turkey or ground beef if preferred. See the notes section of the recipe card for details.
  • Potatoes – To add some carbohydrates. The recipe calls for white potatoes, but sweet potatoes would also work well and add a bit more fiber.
  • Bell Peppers – To add some veggies and color. I used red, yellow, and green bell peppers, but you can use any color you like. Red onion and cherry tomatoes would also work well.
  • Onion Powder – To flavor the potatoes.
  • Garlic Powder – To flavor the potatoes.
  • Olive Oil + Butter – To add some healthy fats.
  • Salt + Pepper – To season.

Dietary Adaptions

To Make them Gluten-Free: Use certified gluten-free turkey sausages.

To Make them Dairy-Free: Swap the butter for olive oil.

Red’s Nutrition Tip

eat more fiber, swap the white potatoes for sweet potatoes

Serving Suggestions

These meal prep breakfast bowls are a balanced meal with protien, carbohydrates, fiber, and fat. You can enjoy them as is or adapt them to suit your personal calorie or macro needs. For example

  • To make them higher in protein, add additional sausages to the recipe and/or top the bowls with a dollop of Greek yogurt.
  • To make them low carb, swap the white potatoes for extra veggies.
  • To make them higher in fat, add cheese to the scrambled eggs.
  • To add more fiber, swap the white potatoes for sweet potatoes and/or add some black beans.
  • To add more flavor, add some taco seasoning to the vegetables and/or serve the bowls with a little salsa or pico de gallo.

To Freeze: Once cooled, the bowls can be stored in freezer-safe containers for up to 3 months.

To Reheat: These meal prep breakfast bowls can be reheated in the microwave for 2-3 minutes. If frozen, allow the bowls to thaw overnight before reheating.

Pin Recipe

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 pinch black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 8 eggs
  • 2 turkey sausages
  • 2 bell peppers, seeded and diced

To Serve (Optional):

  • Fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • Shredded cheese
  • Salsa
  • Hot Sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place the cubed potatoes on the baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper, and, using tongs or your hand, toss until the potatoes are well coated.
  3. Transfer the baking sheet to the oven to bake for 20-25 minutes or until the potatoes are crispy and golden brown and can easily be pierced with a fork.
  4. In a large skillet or pan, on medium-high heat, warm the olive oil, then add the turkey sausages and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, for a total of 8-12 minutes, or until cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F. Once cooked, remove from the pan and allow to rest on a cutting board, and then, using a sharp knife, slice them into 1/2-inch rounds.
  5. Using the same pan, reduce the temperature to medium heat, then add the cubed bell peppers and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3-5 minutes until tender. Once cooked, transfer to a plate and set aside.
  6. In a large bowl, crack the eggs, then whisk them vigorously until the whites and yolks are completely mixed, and the eggs are a bit frothy.
  7. Using the same pan, reduce the temperature to low heat, then add the butter and allow it to melt. Once the butter has melted, pour the whisked eggs into the pan and, using a spatula, fold and stir the eggs every few seconds, scraping along the bottom and sides of the pan, until the eggs are scrambled and cooked to your liking. Once cooked, transfer them to a plate and set aside.
  8. Using a sharp knife, cut the cooled turkey sausages
  9. Once all of the components are cooked, prepare the meal prep bowls. Divide the roasted potatoes, sausages, bell peppers, and scrambled eggs evenly across 4 airtight containers, and top each bowl with a sprinkle of chopped parsley.
  10. The bowls can be served immediately, with toppings of your choice, or stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Notes

To Use Egg Whites: Swap every 1 egg for 1/4 cup of liquid egg whites in step #6.

To Use Pork Sausages: Swap the turkey sausages for 2 pork sausages in step #4 and cook to an internal temperature of 145°F.

To Use Breakfast Sausage: Swap the turkey for 1/2 pound of breakfast sausage in step #4.

        Did you eat the vegetables cold or did you warm them up?

          You can eat them cold or reheat them in the microwave for a minute or so, either works!
