This [protein-packed](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highprotein-breakfast) take on the popular breakfast meal eggs benedict is made from healthy ingredients and adds in veggies and sweet potatoes for additional protein. The meal is modelled for a paleo diet making it ideal for those looking for foods free of processed ingredients and those avoiding grains.

Unlike a traditional eggs benedict, this version eliminates the bred base subbing in smashed sweet potato infused with a spicy chipotle seasoning instead. The potatoes are topped with rich sauteed spinach for iron, strips of bacon and a [poached egg](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-patty-one-by-yo-egg). The Hollandaise sauce is also made from scratch using egg yolks, butter, salt and lemon juice. This is a great [paleo brunch meal or breakfast](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/healthy-side-up) for those looking to up their protein intake.
