Trade your usual baked potato for a seasonal, golden sweet potato. Sweet potatoes owe their deep orange color to the beta carotene they contain and they’re also a reliable source of antioxidants and Vitamin A.
Adding more sweet root vegetables, like sweet potatoes to your diet can satisfy a sweet tooth naturally and diminish sugar cravings while also keeping you grounded during the cold winter months.
Try them steamed, roasted or baked simply dressed with coconut oil and sea salt or your choice of herbs and spices. They make a perfect side dish or snack.
This simple dish takes only minutes to prepare and is both pleasantly filling and warming.
