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 =)
