Blue Zones Sweet Potato Breakfast Bowls

Orange sweet potatoes are great for this recipe, but purple varieties bake to a beautifully cakey consistency that works even better. (Purple sweet potatoes get their color from powerful longevity-boosting antioxidants.) You can prepare the whipped base ahead of time and just heat and garnish it in the morning for a super-easy breakfast.
