Sweet Potato Protein Bowl

A nutritious and satisfying dish that's perfect for a wholesome breakfast or post-workout meal. Start with a medium-sized sweet potato, cooked to perfection and bursting with natural sweetness. Combine it with a quarter cup of milk, such as unsweetened cashew milk, to create a creamy base for your bowl.

Add a serving of your favorite protein powder, whether it's vanilla or salted caramel, to boost your protein intake. For added nourishment, include a scoop of collagen to reach a total of 30 grams of protein. To enhance the fiber content, mix in ground flaxseed or psyllium husk, providing extra nutrients and digestive benefits. Season your bowl with one and a half teaspoons of cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice for a comforting warmth and flavor.

Top it all off with a dollop of nut butter for richness and a satisfying texture. For an extra touch of texture and flavor, consider adding unsweetened coconut flakes and granola, though these are optional.

The result is a Sweet Potato Protein Bowl that's both nutritious and delicious, offering a balance of protein, fiber, and comforting flavors. Enjoy this wholesome meal to fuel your day!

INGREDIENTS

• 1 medium sweet potato, cooked

• 1/4 c milk (used unsw cashew)

• 1 serving The Peachie Spoon Vanilla or salted caramel protein powder

• 1 scoop The Peachie Spoon Collagen (to bump up to 30g protein)

• 1 T ground flaxseed or psyllium husk (extra fiber optional)

• 1-1/2 tsp cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice

• 1 T nut butter, topping

• 1 T each unsw coconut flakes & granola, both optional

   

  STEPS

1. Remove skin and mash potato with a fork (microwave to heat if it’s cold).

2. Add all other ingredients. And stir.

3. Top with your favorite nut butter for your healthy fat and I added a little granola and unsw coconut to give it that sweet potato casserole topping feel.

   Notes: Don’t skip the fat on this one. The vitamin A found in sweet potatoes is a fat-soluble vitamin, so you need that fat for proper nutrient absorption. Vitamin A is also vital for a healthy liver, immune system, heart, kidneys, and thyroid function. What a yummy way to enjoy it. If you’re nut-free, 1 T of grass-fed butter would be a delish swap.
