Greek Yogurt Filled Sweet Potato

I tried this idea for breakfast a few weeks ago. It was really easy and super quick. Of course, it is also super healthy! According to Men's Fitness, some nutritional benefits of sweet potatoes are:

• They contain a lot of Carotenoids- help with cell damage 
• A good source of Vitamin E- also protects against cell damage, environmental factors, and heart disease
• Contains Potassium- helps with bone health, nerve transmission, water balance, and sustaining a normal blood pressure
• A good source of Copper- helps with the production of collagen, which helps keep muscles healthy and skin tight (sooo helps with wrinkles, great!)
• Contains Quercetin- which apparently helps reduce allergies, hay fever, asthma by allowing you to breathe easier

Anyways, so I've been trying to incorporate these healthy nutrient packed potatoes into my diet more often. The easiest way I have discovered is by eating it filled with greek yogurt for breakfast. And it is so quick, so it is very easy to do on busy mornings! Here's the recipe:

Recipe:

Ingredients:

• 1 medium sweet potato
• Plain Greek Yogurt
• Cinnamon
• Nutmeg
• Walnuts, chopped

Directions:

• Scrub the potato clean 
• Prick the potato with a fork all over the front and back
• Place potato on microwaveable safe plate 
• Microwave for 3-5 minutes until the potato is soft
• Cut down the middle of the potato, but not all the way, just enough to make a slit in it
• Spoon in some greek yogurt and top with cinnamon, chopped walnuts, and a little bit of nutmeg to taste!

Enjoy :)
