Notes
- A Note About the Photos: The bowls shown in these photos were originally meal prepped for my husband, so I made his portions larger using 1.5x the ingredients listed in the recipe. That’s why the finished bowls may look a little fuller than yours when prepared as written. The recipe and serving sizes below are correct as written! You can see the original video where I explain the larger portions here.
- Sub in full fat cheese and just add 8g fat to your food diary. You can search the food database for "Fat gram" to do this.
- Use your favorite potatoes! I like to buy dehydrated ones you add water to for this recipe, but frozen hash browns or diced frozen potatoes work well too. Find these Hungry Jack potatoes at Costco or Walmart.
- Find in MyFitnessPal and the MacrosFirst app food database by searching, “Stay Fit Mom Mom's Christmas Bake MP.”
