Sweet Potato Porridge Recipe

Did you know sweet potatoes are considered a superfood?!

Sweet potatoes are a highly nutritious root vegetable. This fiber-packed food is what I turn to when I have a craving for sweets! Top it with walnuts, and coconut shreds, or mix in some almond butter, for a protein packed breakfast. See the recipe below.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 Sweet Potato

  • 1 Can Organic Coconut Milk

  • ½ cup Water

  • 1 tablespoon Coconut Oil (Substitute: Olive Oil)

  • ½ teaspoon Cinnamon

  • Optional: 1 teaspoon Turmeric or Ginger

TOPPINGS

  • Optional: ½ tablespoon Unsweetened Coconut Flakes

  • Optional: Berries

  • Optional: Chia Seeds

  • Optional: Nut Butter

DIRECTIONS

  1. Peel and shred the sweet potato.

  2. Place shredded sweet potato into a medium skillet. Then add the water and coconut milk.

  3. Cover the skillet and cook over medium heat for about 15 minutes. Stir every couple minutes to prevent burning. You will know it is done when the sweet potato is a porridge like texture.

  4. Put the mixture into bowls and add your desired toppings.

  5. Enjoy!
