Why Purple Potatoes Deserve a Spot on Your Plate:
- Natural Anti-Inflammatory: Helps combat oxidative stress in the body
- Heart-Healthy: May help lower blood pressure naturally
- Gut-Friendly: Resistant starch supports healthy digestion
- Blood Sugar Balancer: Lower glycemic impact than white potatoes
How to Enjoy Them:

- Slice thin and bake into gorgeous purple chips
- Add cubed to salads for a nutritious pop of color
Pro Tip: Leave the skins on – that’s where most of the nutrients live!

I started out over 10 years ago watching Forks Over Knives, decided to “try out” the plant-based meal plan and had shockingly incredible results. I’ve never turned back. I have lost nearly 50 pounds, and that is just one side effect that me, my family, friends and clients have experienced after making the change.
Having been an incredible cook my entire adult life, I started my own personal chef service, NuYu Nourish, to extend my help to others. I interned under a celebrity chef, became a celebrity chef myself and have been expanding my reach and goals ever since! My plan follows strictly and simply those of Dr. Mcdougall, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Esselstyn.
