The Ultimate AIP Breakfast Bowl
It can be challenging to find inspiring AIP breakfast ideas since many breakfasts are prepared using eggs, potatoes, tofu, or grains. This colorful bowl is a delicious and nutritious meal perfect for breakfast, brunch, or lunch. The flavorful ground turkey goes beautifully with the crunchy pickled carrots, rich avocado, creamy spinach, and umami mushrooms. This meal has the perfect balance of macro and micronutrients, making it suitable for many diets, including Whole30, Low Carb, dairy-free, and egg-free diets.
What is AIP?
AIP stands for the autoimmune protocol, an elimination diet that aims to determine food allergies and sensitivities in those suffering from autoimmune conditions. This diet is based on the Paleo diet and removes all potentially problematic foods, including grains, dairy, eggs, legumes, beans, nuts, seeds, nightshades, processed foods, and foods with chemicals and additives. AIP may help to reverse nutrient deficiencies in those with autoimmune diseases, balance gut flora, and assist with healing.
What does this bowl consist of?
This breakfast bowl consists of nutritious whole foods prepared separately to provide an incredible eating experience. Ground turkey is cooked with AIP-friendly seasoning and served with sauteed mushrooms, spinach, pickled carrots, and avocado. You can substitute the components with other AIP-compliant ingredients. For example, replace the spinach with sauteed kale, mustard greens, or collard greens. Instead of pickling carrot ribbons, consider using thinly sliced baby turnips, parsnip, or beetroot. You can swap the ground turkey with beef, chicken, fish, shellfish, or organ meat. You can use the same concept to create a variety of AIP recipes.
What makes this breakfast bowl the 'ultimate?'
We love this bowl because it ticks boxes in many categories, including flavor complexity, texture variation, nutrition, and adaptability to many diets. It is a satiating option that is free of popular breakfast foods like eggs, cheese, potatoes, sausages, etc.. which may trigger symptoms in some people.
