Blueberry Sweet Potato Breakfast Meatballs
I LOVE a hearty breakfast. For me, the ideal balanced breakfast includes protein, a starchy carb, a pile of greens for extra energy, in-season fruit, and has good representation from all the colors of the rainbow. There's just one caveat to my dream breakfast: it isn't always so easy to fit in making (and eating) it on your typical rushed weekday morning! And that's precisely why we're bringing you these blueberry sweet potato breakfast meatballs.
These little portable bites combine ground pork, shredded sweet potatoes, blueberries, and kale for a breakfast option that is totally meal prep-friendly, egg-free, and easy to eat on the go while also packing a big nutritional punch. Each bite of these breakfast meatballs brings you the perfect combination of sweet and savory for a breakfast you'll actually look forward to eating all week long!
