We were obsessed with this sweet potato hash for SO long. But, oh my heart, this sweet potato hash protein bowl recipe has taken things to the next level! This delicious protein bowl started as a kitchen sink recipe, but all of the ingredients used pair so well together.
To make it, start off by making a homemade sweet potato hash. Then add in tons of other veggies and your favorite chicken sausage for a delicious and highly nutritious breakfast.
High Protein Breakfast Bowl Recipe – Key Ingredients
- Minced garlic: Garlic adds lots of depth of flavor to this dish.
- Sweet potato: Sweet potato is the main star in this recipe. It adds a touch of sweetness and lots of yummy nutrition.
- Veggies: Red pepper and yellow onion pair so well with the sweet potato and chicken sausage! They also add lots of good texture.
- Chicken sausages: Make sure you use precooked chicken sausages so you don’t have to cook them before adding them to the hash!
- Kale: A powerhouse green, kale adds even more nutrients and texture to this dish.
- Balsamic vinegar: A touch of balsamic vinegar adds a tangy and delicious flavor to the hash.
Want to add even more protein?
Add a fried egg or over medium egg to each serving of these protein bowls for an extra boost of protein. Simply crack an egg into the skillet and leave it sunnyside up until the whites are set and the yolk is still runny. Or, mix it up and scramble the eggs before adding them into the hash.
What can I use in place of chicken sausage?
You can swap out the chicken sausage for breakfast sausage, bacon, or even tofu for a vegetarian option. Or, simply leave it out altogether and add more veggies instead.

Short on time? Here’s a tip
If you would like to skip grating the sweet potatoes, you can cut them into small bite-size pieces.
In step 3, you will add the sweet potato pieces first and cook for 4-5 minutes to soften them a little before adding the onion, garlic, red pepper, and sausage.

Oh, geez. I’m definitely going to make this soon (but meatless). This is my kind of meal.
I recently got back into Old Navy because there’s no Target near my new house. I’ve gotten so many cute, cheap things over the past few months! It’s da best.
NO TARGET OH MY GOSH!
Sweet potato and kale are always an epic combo! I just did a spiralized sweet potato kale bowl last week. It was divine. I haven’t been to Old Navy in ages, but I’m hearing from a lot of people that they have good workout stuff. Maybe a trip is in order!
I LOVE SPIRALIZING SWEET POTATOES. I think orange noodles are EPIC.
I would have never thought to use the cheese grater – awesome! And YES. Paying full price is for suckers! Old Navy has really been stepping up their game the past few years… and their workout clothes are my fave 🙂
Isn’t the cheese grater trick GENIUS?!
EWWW bloody’s! Totally with you on that one and I feel like I am always the only one saying that. Cider for the win always!
Can’t wait to make this! Nommmmm sweet taters!
Seriously bloody’s are disgusting and I hate beer. That’s why I default to cider for brunch…because it’s too early for wine or a hard cocktail 🙂
Using a grater is so smart! And this looks completely delicious! My favorite easy meal is basically some combination of chopped up and sautéed garlic, sweet potatoes, whatever veggies I have on hand, and an egg cracked on top. Love the idea of adding the chicken sausage!
Anything with sweet potato is my kind of meal.
Thanks for the tip about using a cheese grater! Sweet potato hash is one of my favorite things to cook and I love this new way of doing it! Also, Trader Joe’s chicken sausages are so good! I love the variety of flavors.
TRADER JOE’S FOR THE WIN. I never leave that place spending less than $60. Hmph.
Using a grater for the sweet potato is pure genius! Why did i never think of that? This hash looks delightful, Lee! And with and egg on top?
Ugh, I can’t even. Sweet [Potato] dream are made of this….
LOL. Glad to know I’m not the only one who dreams about sweet potatoes 😛
This looks AWESOME! I can’t wait to try it. So genius to grate the sweet potato. D’OH!
Also, I agree with you about Old Navy. They have definitely stepped it up. I’ve purchased a few things from their active line, too. The leggings aren’t too bad! The fabric for the shirts and things is not as nice as higher end lines, but sometimes you just can’t spend that much on a little piece of fabric aka. a tank top.
GO OLD NAVY!!!!

Old Navy is hit or miss for me, but when they have sales it’s like gimme ALL THE THINGS. And you don’t have tax?! Okay I’m coming to visit then! 😉 This hash is gorgeous and it’s definitely going to be my next dinner because I’ve been craving something comforting lately. Thanks for sharing Lee <3
I AM A SUCKER FOR A GOOD SALE. WATCH OUT.
