I think it’s about 2 years since the first day I started cooking with sweet potato. And baking. And roasting.
And after eating the sweet potato combi a bit too much for dinner, I tried other ways to eat this rich iron in and vitamins cracker during the day.
I’ve been eating sweet potato in the morning for a while now, mostly every Sunday morning before my boxing training.
It’s easy but filling and it gives me tons of energy. Combined with a few slices of banana and some nut butter, and my energizer breakfast is done!
Try it, it’s really good!
