The standard baked potato now has a run for its money. This loaded sweet potato recipe is hearty, yet refreshing. Sweet, and packed with lots of flavor.
Sweet potato has great benefits: they’re a good source of vitamins C and A (and lots of other nutrients too), an antioxidant powerhouse, anti-inflammatory, and they don’t cause blood sugar spikes! As a starchy root vegetable, its carbs will also keep you full and satisfied – a good source of fuel for the day and for athletic performance.
