Prep
-
Sweet potatoes / Shallots - Prep as directed and store separately. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)
-
Cucumbers - Chop cucumbers into large chunks (just so they fit better into the blender). (Can be done up to 3 days ahead)
-
Make smoothie - Chop apples (Note: if you know your blender can handle the peels, leave them on; if unsure or using a lower powered blender, it’s a good idea to peel the apples first.) Combine apples, cucumbers, baby spinach, lemon juice, water, and ice in the bowl of a blender. Blend until smooth, adding a splash more water if needed.

Make
-
Place sweet potatoes in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover with a damp paper towel and microwave on high until sweet potatoes are tender, 3 to 5 minutes. (You can also saute the sweet potatoes in a skillet until tender, but getting them tender in the microwave will save a lot of time.)
-
Heat a large wok or skillet with first portion of oil over medium-high heat. Add shallots to heated oil and saute for 1 minute to get them started cooking. Add breakfast sausage and saute, breaking the sausage apart, until cooked through, 6 to 7 minutes.
-
Add sweet potatoes and paprika to sausage and stir to combine. Let the hash cook, without stirring, for about 2 minutes to let the sweet potatoes start to brown slightly on the bottom of the pan. Give the hash one more stir and then set aside, covered to keep warm.
-
Heat a nonstick frying pan with second part of cooking oil over medium heat. Crack eggs into heated oil and cook until done to your liking - on one side for over-easy or flip to fry on both sides.
-
Divide hash between serving plates. Top each portion with an egg. Serve with hot sauce on the side. Enjoy with smoothie.
