As Instagram’s #1 meal prep guru, Amanda designed this dish so you can easily prep it on Sunday and be breakfast-ready for the entire week.
What makes it paleo? Sausage, eggs, fresh veggies and spices are all approved for the paleo diet, which involves eating whole foods and healthy oils and fats. Based on what Paleolithic hunters and gatherers might have eaten, the paleo diet avoids highly processed foods like sugar, soft drinks, grains and trans fats.
Not only does this casserole provide a ton of protein, it’s also teeming with plant-based nutrients, including vitamin b, c and d, potassium, selenium, iron and magnesium. A true breakfast of champions, and it’s super easy to make.
Just whip this big-batch breakfast together and store in an air-tight container. When you’re ready for your first meal of the day, simply microwave a slice for a moment or two and enjoy with your morning coffee.
