Whole 30 California Avocado Sweet Potato Hash Recipe

I lived off this Sweet Potato Hash recipe the two times I did Whole30. It’s still one of my favorite go to meals today!

If any of you have attempted Whole 30, you know when you find a combination of foods you love that fits into the narrow parameters, it’s like finding a pot of gold.

I discovered this Avocado and Sweet Potato Hash combination on week 2 of my first go at Whole 30. Let me tell you, I loved it so much I had it at least once daily during the 30 day duration. This recipe is made up of tender spiralized sweet potatoes, sliced zucchini, garlic, scrambled eggs, my favorite California Avocados and a splash of hot sauce. It’s one of those incredibly satisfying recipes. It’s so satisfying that you tend to forget what you are giving up when you eat it.

One thing that Whole 30 opened my eyes to was vegetables at breakfast. Never before had I considered a vegetable like zucchini a breakfast food. But now, after 2 rounds of Whole 30, I’ve discovered how good vegetables can be in the morning. Naturally, California Avocados have always been a part of my breakfast (here are some of my favorite avocado breakfast recipes), but other vegetables at breakfast time were new to me!

If you are looking for a way to amp up breakfast to the next level, definitely give this nutritious and delicious California Avocado Sweet Potato Hash recipe a try! Pair it with Bullet Proof Coffee and your morning will be started off on the right foot. By the way – this great breakfast hash is even better as leftovers. Enjoy!

If you love a good sweet potato recipe give these gems a try:

Collage with Whole30 Cookbook, Spiralizer, Cast Iron Skillet and Coconut Oil

Here are a few tools that will simplify cooking sweet potato hash:

The Spiralizer: I am not a gadget person AT ALL. In fact, I tend to stay away from stuffing my kitchen cabinets full of single use gadgets. With that said, I’ve changed my tune with The Spiralizer. This little tool is so fantastic, especially with vegetables. Spiralizing sweet potatoes helps to make cooking them so quick and easy. It’s a great tool for when you are doing the Whole30 program or when you are just trying to eat healthier. In addition, sprializing makes vegetables so easy to cook it’s perfect for breakfast hash.

Lodge Cast Iron Skillet: A cast iron skillet seasoned with a little coconut or olive oil is a great pan to use for making hash. I don’t know what it is about it, but the sweet potatoes get cooked so well. This nothing quite like crispy edged sweet potatoes. So good.

Whole30 Cookbook: If you are looking for other Whole 30 recipes, the Whole30 Cookbook by Melissa Hartwig is a must buy. This cookbook is the best Whole30 resource out there and great for meal planning while on the program. It’s also a cookbook I still reference often as it truly helps me to manage my relationship with food.

Coconut Oil: Finally, coconut oil may be trendy, but I love it. It adds such a great flavor to this sweet potato hash recipe. I always buy big jars of Coconut Oil on Amazon because we go through it so fast.

Now that you know everything that makes cooking this sweet potato hash recipe a cinch, let’s get cooking! You can find the recipe below. Bookmark it because I know you’ll be making it time and time again.

    I only lasted about 2 days on Whole 30. Ha! At least I tried. 🙂 This hash looks perfect! I love anything I can put an avocado on.

    It was great meeting you at Indulge, Kristen! Your speech was very inspiring. 🙂

    I actually stumbled upon your recipe! Oh my goodness, thank you Google/Safari/web browser, whoever, for pointing me in the direction of this SLICE OF AMAZING! Completed one round of Whole30 with, pretty much, scrambled eggs EVERY SINGLE morning! Boring! Started round 2 yesterday. I have never been a sweet potato fan…until NOW! This recipe is going to be my numero uno/game changer! I cannot wait for lunch to eat the other half (I would be fooling myself if I thought I could wait until tomorrow morning!) Thank you! Thank you!

    Any idea if this will be good second day? It made more than I can eat but was too good to throw away.

    • Kristen says

      January 16, 2017 at 2:40 pm

      Yes! It’s even better the second day, in my opinion. I usually make an extra big batch and eat it for a few days in a row!

    I’m not a huge fan od avacado, but it is a delicious addition to this meal. The coconut oil really brings out the flavor. Delicious and healthy

New ink inspired by a quote in my friend @andiemmitchell amazing memoir “It Was Me All Along”. 

I tend to be an all or nothing person and look at long term and get overwhelmed instead of just taking things one day at a time. I’ve said her quote to myself multiple times a day for years. Now I’ll have a permanent reminder. 

The full quote: “Can you do it today? Can you make it through today without bingeing? Just today, and tomorrow we’ll reconsider?”

I need to go back and get a couple missed spots filled in but I love it. Thanks Rob at @irezumitattookc 🎉

Here’s a fun fact I heard on the radio several years ago…October 5th is the most popular day to be born (9 months prior is New Years Eve-ish). 🎉 

Happy birthday to all my many many birthday twins out there! It’s the big 4-8 for me…although this past year as a Covid long hauler I feel like I’ve aged 20 years in the past 1. But things are looking up! I’m excited for the next 365 days of my life. I’m blessed and so thankful to still be here, chugging along.

This picture is from last week when @kellykdoyle and I were visiting colleges in Colorado. If I have any followers with ties to @coloradostateuniversity or @cuboulder I’d love to chat!

I love being a parent of teens...but I miss the days of parenting kids who loved going to school, who didn't struggle with major anxiety, who loved their bodies, and were confident about how they looked. I miss pre-covid days where lunch wasn't distanced, kids had the opportunity to connect and socialize at school, where mask-wearing wasn't even a topic, let alone one that divides. 

The past 2 years have changed my kids. They have gained so many positive things, but they've also gained a new kind of anxiety that wasn't there before. And I hate it for them. They've seen first hand how long haul covid has changed our family. They've seen the selfishness of others in ways they haven't seen before. They've had to grow up faster, worry about things they shouldn't have to worry about, and learn the hard way how this world can really be. And it hurts my heart for them. 

I have a new senior, sophomore and 6th grader here at home. Missing my sophomore in college a ton. I hope the world is kind to them and they are kind to the world. I want nothing more than for them to be happy and to be surrounded by good people who love and accept them for who they are and who also push them to live a full, rich and happy life. I pray every day for them - and for your kids...and pray that we are all raising a generation of empathetic and kind changemakers.

Thanks to everyone who sent words of encouragement and showered them with support. It’s means so much!

I was a “houseplant lady” before the pandemic, but I think since the pandemic I get to add the word “crazy” to that title. So. Many. Plants. I’m not mad about it!

This weekend @kctinygreenhouse I picked up this beautiful Monstera Peru as well as a bag of Jeff’s Jungle Mix. You know when a new to you potting mix has you super excited, you’ve crossed the line into la la land 😂 Swipe to see how pretty it is!

What pandemic hobby did you pick up?

Book Lovers Giveaway (read to the end)!!! ⬇️ ⬇️ 

Supporting my local independent bookstore @rainydaybooks looks a lot different than it used to these days. Temporarily gone are the days of lingering in store, browsing the shelves, walking out with an armful of books I didn’t expect to buy. The pandemic has made independent bookstores pivot in ways they’ve never had to before, but I’m so happy to say they are CRUSHING IT! And as we virtually celebrate Independent Bookstore Day on 4/24, I wanted to share a way you too can help keep Independent bookstores afloat now (and in the future).

Can’t believe we’re doing the college tour thing already with my second baby! 

So question for any of you who sent your kids to out of state schools or went to out of state schools...how did you do it? She wants to get the heck out of Kansas (I’d like to go with her!). We have money saved, she’ll most likely get a scholarship or two, she’s paying and has money saved as well...but even with that out of state tuition is a beast of an amount. So, did you just assume that student loans were going to be part of that life? And is that worth it to give your kids a shot at a new life outside of your home state? I wish I would have left Kansas for university, and have been here since I was born 😩. I want different for her if that’s what she wants but also just don’t have any experience with how people do out of state college! Any tips?

J is for...jam!

My friend @wakschmale makes the best strawberry jam...and I completely forgot about a jar she gave me last year until this morning. Which then inspired me to make my favorite buttermilk biscuits. So so good. Are you a jam, honey, just butter or plain biscuit fan? I love biscuits allll the ways, except with gravy. I have super bad memories of biscuits and gravy growing up. 🤢

I’m still slowly making my way through the alphabet for @kimklassen_innercircle a-z photo challenge. I’m bound and determined to finish. It may just take me a little longer than I originally anticipated 🤗.

I is for Inspiration!
.
The “long haul” effects of having Covid back in December are really presenting themselves lately. The continuous persistent headaches are taking a toll and the connection between the brain fog and word retrieval function of my brain has been extra challenging. I had no idea a couple months out, the cognitive effects would still be hanging around.
.
With that said, when I get a burst of inspiration I’m grabbing on for dear life. I made our favorite chocolate chip cookies recipe yesterday and felt the desire to update the blog post photos from 2007! We make these cookies all the time, so I’m not sure why it’s taken me so many years to give that poor post some new photos.
.
If you’re interested in the recipe you can find the link currently in my profile. Enjoy!!

G is for...oh so grateful!

I flew to South Texas yesterday to visit my parents whom I haven’t seen in 2 years. They live around 17 hours away from us. We typical get to see each other a few times a year but with the pandemic and other health issues it just wasn’t able to happen and I’ve missed them soooo much.

Grateful to have had COVID last month. Although it was not at all fun, it gave me the antibodies to make this trip possible. My dad is having surgery tomorrow so I’m helping with my mom so my dad can recover without having to worry about her.

Kansas is enjoying frigid temperatures and snow. I picked a great week to head south.

F is for...food photography.
.
This time of year especially, food photography (and I guess all photography actually) is a tug of war with time and light. I had planned on making and photographing a delicious pasta recipe, but my grocery delivery ran a couple of hours late because of snowstorm. So, at the eleventh hour I decided to make a cake...that took over an hour to bake and I had about 90 minutes of natural light left...leaving me with about 30 minutes of ok light to work with.
.
Anyway, this wouldn't work for a client shoot because the cake, although delicious, didn't turn out looking so great. But it will work great for today's F photo for the @kimklassen_innercircle A-Z photo project:) Lemon Citrus Yogurt Cake from this weeks @cabotcheese newsletter. So good!
