September is Cholesterol Awareness Month and we’re starting our September mornings right with better-for-you breakfast. A few simple swaps can make this meal healthier, tastier, and more satisfying. Sweet Potato, Kale, Mushroom Hash features cholesterol-free corn oil. A clinical study showed Mazola Corn Oil reduces cholesterol 2x more than extra virgin olive oil. To learn more about this claim, see MAZOLA.com.
As a dietitian, I’m asked about fad diets all the time. Let me set everyone straight from the beginning. I’m no fan of fads. I don’t condone cutting out food groups. (But if I did, I’d cut out sugar!) I enjoy dairy and carbohydrates, beans, legumes, and lentils, and healthy fats, of course.
However, before I take my stance, I try these fad diets out. I like to speak from a place of experience and there are some valuable lessons to be learned, after all.
The biggest of these lessons is how to shake up breakfast. Are you in a bacon and eggs rut? Tired of eating fruit and yogurt and oatmeal? You should be. We’ve been eating the same blah-blah breakfast for far too long and breakfast shouldn’t be boring! Through “cutting out carbs,” “eating less fruit,” etcetera, etcetera, I’ve learned the art of making a savory, veggie-centric breakfast. Enter Sweet Potato, Kale, Mushroom Hash.
Several ingredient swaps make this better-for-you breakfast hash healthier and tastier and more satisfying than the traditional. Sweet potatoes are an excellent source of vitamin A (more than 400 percent of your daily needs!). They also have more vitamin C, fewer calories, and more fiber than white potatoes. Instead of corned beef, my breakfast hash relies on mushrooms for a meaty texture and umami flavor. Handfuls of kale add fiber and antioxidants. And I chose Mazola Corn Oil over butter, which is a simple swap that reduces saturated fat and cholesterol.
Mazola Corn Oil is an all-purpose, cholesterol free cooking oil that is a smart, heart-healthy* choice. *See MAZOLA.com for more information on the relationship between corn oil and heart health. You don’t need to make a breakfast hash to put corn oil to good use. It works well as a substitute in baking, grilling, sauteing, or mixing up marinades and salad dressings.
Sweet Potato, Kale, Mushroom Hash is finished with fresh ginger, garlic, and garam masala for a touch of sweet heat and Middle Eastern flare. A single, runny egg is added on top for protein and to make your stomach growl and your mouth water.
