Simply sweet and filling. A perfect lunch!
I always keep some baked sweet potatoes* on hand (see my sweet potato hummus recipe to find out why!) Simply reheat, top with some cottage cheese (low fat or non-fat, your choice), sprinkle with nuts (toasted** or untoasted, your choice), and craisins. Packed with the perfect mix of protein, carbs, and fat. Filling and delicious!
*to bake sweet potatoes, clean with a brush under running water, cut off any bruises or stems, prick all over with a fork, place in a ceramic or glass baking dish with a bit of water and bake 90 minutes at 400. Do a few at once; they’re good to have on hand.
**to toast nuts, simply put them in a small pan on medium heat and stir them often for a few minutes until they smell nutty, don’t let them burn. Also good to keep extras on hand.
