These Healthy Breakfast Bowls are just 198 calories, and are packed with 12.7g of protein!
I added lots of optional protein boosts and toppings, and included the calories for each. And best of all, you could add all of them and the recipe would still be low calorie!
I made these low calorie breakfast bowls with gold potatoes, but you could swap them out for sweet potatoes or even cauliflower florets!
