Fact: I’m obsessed with eating things in bowls. You know this by this point. And usually with tiny silverware because my hands are so small…but that’s besides the point here. But this Whole30 Power Breakfast Bowl? Pure. jackpot. Breakfast GOLD. Flavor explosion. ALL THE (awesome) THINGS.
I get a lot of questions about how to make quick, easy, real food breakfasts that taste great and start your day off on a great note to keep you full until lunch (you know, instead of having a bowl of cereal with milk aka sugar + sugar, and then getting hungry in about 2 hours). You have leftover soup from last night? Why not eat it for breakfast? Or leftover chicken/steak/shrimp from dinner last night? throw it on a plate with some veggies and avocado, and breakfast is done. It doesn’t have to be all eggs, every day people! And if you’re trying to re-create your old breakfast favorites like pancakes, muffins, breads, cereal, pastries, etc. – they may be real food/paleo, but they’re not exactly the healthiest options to have every day either.
Easiest way to get a super delicious, nutrient-dense breakfast on the table fast? Use leftover veggies, greens, protein (like my roasted garlic breakfast sausage, or some Pederson’s breakfast sausage (below!), pop an egg on top, and add some sliced avocado. Hellooo meal prep! This is where that really comes in handy. If you have a leftover One-Pan Bake, Rainbow Chard & Carrots, roasted brussels sprouts or Lemon Garlic Roasted Broccoli, Buffalo Roasted Cauliflower or roasted cauliflower rice(insert your favorites here!), you’re good! All you have to do is heat it up in the morning with your other favorite leftovers to make a killer breakfast.
Hot sauce if you dare. Bonus points if you add in some fermented veggies like sauerkraut!
- 1 tsp avocado oil or ghee
- 1 egg
- 1 serving breakfast sausage (homemade or use a compliant brand like Pederson's!)
- ½ cup leftover roasted cauliflower
- ½ cup sautéed peppers and onions
- 1 handful arugula or lettuce greens
- optional: ½ avocado, sliced
- For serving: hot sauce + fermented veggies (kraut) + scallions
- Heat a small skillet with 1 tsp avocado oil or ghee for 2 minutes, then add the egg. Fry it until the white is cooked through but the yolk is still slightly runny, about 3-4 minutes.
- Throw everything else besides the avocado in a skillet or the microwave to warm together.
- Top with sliced avocado, hot sauce, and your favorite fermented veggies or kraut!

Since trying out the whole 30 plan, I’ve had trouble finding a good breakfast meal. I typically just do a single egg and maybe half an avocado, but it gets so boring doing this day after day and I’m often left hungry still. This was such a good change in my routine, and totally delicious! I dumped a bunch of sauerkraut on mine too, definitely worth doing again – thanks for sharing!
You’re so welcome, Sam! So happy to hear this worked out great for you!
