Sweet potatoes are known as the “Safe Starch” in the Paleo community and are great for providing energy throughout the day. They add that unique sweetness to a meal and can help curb a lot of junk food cravings you might be having. They also contain tons of vitamins such as B6, vitamin D, Iron, and potassium. You can make tons of snacks with sweet potatoes and they don’t take long to prep. Just don’t confuse them for yams. This morning I made some scrambled eggs with sweet potatoes shredding:
- 1/2 a sweet potato, shredded
- 1 tsp of cinnamon
- 2 eggs
- 2 egg whites
- 1/4 onion
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- coconut oil
Skin the sweet potato and then shred it into strips. You can also use a food processor to do this. Add coconut oil to a medium-heat skillet. Once it’s hot, add in the sweet potato and sprinkle the cinnamon after about a minute. Saute them until they are tender to your liking. Put them to the side. Add the onions to your skillet and saute until they become soft. Add in the eggs and egg white. Mix around until egg is scrambled. Add in the salt. Continue to mix around until the egg is done.
I put the eggs over the sweet potatoes and then added a bit of hot sauce to it for flavor. I love sweet potatoes and I loved them even more with eggs. This was very quick to make. The longest part of all of this is to skin and shred the sweet potato. If you like eating it with the skin, you can just drop the potato into a blender and then it’s even faster.
Additionally I had 1.5 liters of water and a protein shake. This should get me through the day and workout!
