Sweet Potato & Chicken Sausage Hash {Whole30}

As I’ve mentioned before, food prep is key to a successful Whole30.  This is especially true about breakfasts, since we’re often in a hurry in the morning and many of our quick ‘grab and go’ breakfasts (protein bars, granola, yogurt, cereal, oatmeal) are all off-limits limits during a Whole30.  This sweet potato and chicken sausage hash is a great dish to make a big batch of to have on hand all week.  All you have to do is throw it in the microwave.  While it’s in the microwave, fry up an egg to throw on top and serve along with some avocado and a side of veggies.  Think you don’t have time to fry an egg?  Yes you do.  It takes two minutes.  Set your alarm five minutes earlier and you’ll be good to go.
