Adding Sweet Potatoes into Your Diet


When you hear the word “potato”, you think OMG starch and carbs.....get away from me!! BUT sweet potatoes are actually beneficial to your health, and can be a good item to add to your diet plan.

Why are sweet potatoes beneficial for you? Wellll they provide a good source of vitamin C, they are high in vitamin B6, AND they are also a good source of vitamin D. Sweet potatoes are also a source of potassium, a good source of magnesium (which acts as an anti-stress mineral), and contain iron which help support a healthy immune system.

There are also so many ways to make sweet potatoes. You can roast them, you can puree them, you can bake them, grill them, and steam them.


I like to cook them in the microwave or in the oven and then bring them as a side for my lunch. They also help to crave my sweet tooth, while also leaving me pleasantly full =)
