Serve these bowls warm with a runny fried egg. I love adding a few slices of creamy avocado. A drizzle of hot sauce adds a great kick. This is the ultimate fuel for a productive morning.

Store the mixture in airtight containers for four days. Keep the eggs separate and cook them fresh. Reheat the base in the microwave for 90 seconds. It stays fresh and delicious all week long.

• Cut sweet potatoes into small, even 1/2-inch cubes.
• Do not overcook the spinach; just let it wilt.
