Ingredients:
Sweet potatoes
Avocado or olive oil
Sea salt
1. Peel the skin off of the sweet potato(s).
2. Cut the sweet potato into the shape of fries. Make sure they aren't too thick.
3. Drizzle a little oil on the fries and make sure evenly coated. Don't drench them though.
4. Sprinkle sea salt and any other desired seasoning.
5. Spread the fries evenly on a baking sheet.
6. Broil the fries until the edges are a brown and crispy.
Seriously. That easy. Start to finish is only about 10-15 minutes. This is way healthier than what you'd find in the freezer aisle. Definitely more fresh. And probably the same time commitment.
Superfood Hot Chocolate
Ingredients:
2 Tbsp raw cocoa powder
2 tsp coconut sugar
2 tsp maca
1 tsp cinnamon
pinch of salt
pinch of cayenne pepper
pinch of ginger
1 cup almond milk
1. Mix all dry ingredients together
2. Heat almond milk over the stove top (do not exceed 118 degrees)
3. Once the milk is heated, whisk in the dry ingredients.
If you like a little chili with your chocolate, this is for you. The flavor profile is so rich and intricate. It's a serious winter treat. It's not super sweet so you many need to add a little honey or more coconut sugar than the recipe calls for. I like this recipe especially because it's an excellent mix of healthy food.
Almond milk packs a calcium punch - much more than regular milk.
Maca helps to cope with stress and stabilizes mood and energy
Cocoa powder is rich in magnesium and enhances physical and mental well-being
Cinnamon aides digestion
Ginger lowers blood pressure
Cayenne reduces inflammation and boosts the immune system
I also got this recipe from the same blog as yesterday's post - http://www.mynewroots.org
So....this would probably be amazing if you added a little Baileys. Just sayin'.
