Start your day with this savory breakfast bowl featuring plant-based sausage, sautéed mushrooms and greens, sweet potato, avocado, and hummus.
Happy Christmas Eve, friends!
It’s raining here today and it looks like we might have a wet Christmas instead of a white one.
It’s OK, because I have a whole day planned around baking and cooking.
Usually on Christmas morning growing up we enjoyed a big savory breakfast to fuel for an epic gift opening session.
There’s something about a big savory brekky that feels so cozy and wonderfully wintry.
My favorite way to do it plant-based is to throw all of the savory stuff in a bowl.
This Savory “Sausage” Breakfast Bowl is packed with all of your favorite vegetables to kick start the day.
Add my favorite Hilary’s Eat Well Spicy Veggie Sausage and it’s a party!

I love Hilary’s Eat Well so much, guys!
Their products definitely saved quarantine meal time this year.
I also admire their brand as a whole for living their values outside of their amazing products.
Here’s what you can count on from Hilary’s as a whole:
- they use solar power energy at their production facility
- they have an employee garden (WHAT?!)
- they pay a living-wage
- they proactively embrace second change hiring (hiring folks with criminal history and/or substance abuse)
- they make sustainable choices
- they donate products to the Food Equality Initiative
Aaand they’re a certified BCorp, which is no small feat.
Is it just me, or does knowing this make all of this makes their products a little more delicious?!

This bowl is packed with complex carbs, antioxidants, healthy fats, leafy greens, and plant based protein to cover all of the bases!
It’s really versatile, so feel free to throw in any extra vegetables you have in the fridge.
I think the addition of roasted vegetables, radishes, and herbs would be fantastic here.
It’s perfect to throw together for easy workweek breakfasts if you prep your sweet potato and cooked quinoa in advance.
