But breakfast, to us, is far from just a necessity. Breakfast is something of a ritual; something to be savored and enjoyed from start to finish. The truth is, we absolutely LOVE breakfast at MPOF, and as true connoisseurs, we know that when breakfast is absolutely killer, it can make a huge positive difference in our day.
Our love for the morning meal is what has inspired us to share this extra-special meal prep recipe with you today—Sweet potato waffles!

How long will this Sweet Potato Waffle Meal Prep Recipe last for?
When properly stored, the sweet potato waffles themselves will last around 3-5 days, but we wouldn’t be surprised if you ate them well before then—They’re scrumptious!

How do you make this Sweet Potato Waffle Meal Prep Recipe?
Making these delicious waffles is a pretty simple process, broken into two parts. The first involves making the eggs, which you begin doing by whisking them together in a large bowl with the almond milk, salt, and pepper. Prep your pan for cooking by heating olive oil in it on medium heat, then cook the spinach until wilted. Once this is done, add in your eggs and scramble. Remove from heat and set aside.
For the second part, we’ll be making the waffles, so begin by combining the shredded sweet potato, eggs, salt, and pepper in another large bowl. Heat up the waffle iron, and apply a generous amount of non-stick spray. Place ¼ of the waffle mixture into the iron, top with ½ of the scrambled eggs, and then finish with more waffle mix. Cook waffles for 4-6 minutes or until golden. Repeat with remaining mixtures.
How to portion this Sweet Potato Waffle Meal Prep Recipe?
We suggest using two-compartment meal prep containers. Or, if you want to up your game by adding bacon or avocado, consider a three-compartment container. If you’re confused, you can get more facts about meal prep containers on our website.
