Sweet Potato Chicken Apple Sausage Egg Muffins
Paleo, Gluten Free
I am thrilled to share this new recipe with all of you. Some of my friends/clients know that I gave up almond butter and raw nuts about 3 months ago. As I get older I have realized my stomach cannot digest them the way it used to be able to. To be honest, I was eating too much almond butter. I was addicted. I would put it on my banana in the morning, on an apple in the afternoon. Too much! I have always had a sensitive stomach like my Dad. I would feel very bloated and NEVER hungry. Not good considering the intensity of my workouts.
Anyway, I went cold turkey one day and I have not had any raw almond butter out of the jar or raw nuts BUT I do use almond flour, almond butter and nuts in my cooking and that is perfectly digestible....Thankfully! My point is since giving up nuts I switched to sweet potatoes and eggs for breakfast. I feel soooo much better, stronger in my workouts and never bloated. Give this recipe a try, it is sweet and a little salty at the same time, easily digestible and extremely satisfying. Nothing better.
