Happy Seasonal Sunday, Plant Lovers!
This week, we’re highlighting Purple Sweet Potatoes—a vibrant, naturally sweet and nutrient-rich root vegetable that’s in season now! Their deep purple hue isn’t just beautiful; it’s packed with antioxidants that support overall health.
Here’s why we love Purple Sweet Potatoes:
- Rich in anthocyanins (natural plant compounds that give purple and blue fruits and vegetables their color and help reduce inflammation, support brain function and promote heart health).
- High in fiber, supporting digestion and gut health.
- Naturally sweet and creamy, making them a perfect ingredient for both sweet and savory dishes.
How to enjoy Purple Sweet Potatoes:
Baked: Roast them whole for a simple, nutrient-dense meal.
Mashed: Blend into a creamy mash for a visually stunning side dish.
In Soups: Puree with vegetable broth for a silky, colorful soup.
As Fries: Slice into wedges and bake for crispy, naturally sweet fries.
In Desserts: Use in muffins, pancakes or even plant-based pies for a unique twist!
Purple Sweet Potatoes are available now in many grocery stores and markets—so grab some and get creative in the kitchen!
Wishing you a colorful and nourishing Sunday!
I started out several 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.
