Blue Zones Sweet Potato Breakfast Bowls
These delicious, satisfying, and beautiful bowls come together very quickly if you bake the sweet potatoes the day before.
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.
