Sweet Potato & Quinoa Mug
Sometimes I just can't get enough sweet potato... it's sweet, savory, versatile, not to mention it's packed with nutrients like Carotenoids good for the immune system, skin and vision, Fiber, Potassium, and a good source of starchy carbohydrates (especially helpful for endurance athletes). Paired with quinoa, a complete plant-based protein and almonds, which are rich in Vitamin E good for glowing skin, it was the perfect combination for a Monday morning start!
**You can cut this recipe in half for individual portions (and warm up in a mug for a quick breakfast like I did), or batch cook as directed for breakfast/snack options all week!
