Have you tried purple sweet potatoes (yam) before? I am such a huge fan of them because they have a mildly sweet flavor and a gorgeous hue! They are packed with antioxidants and have a low glycemic index. I find sweet potatoes satisfy my sweet tooth and my hunger so I almost always have some on hand for quick, healthy meals.
These Quinoa and Rice Stuffed Sweet Potatoes are loaded with vegetables like red pepper onion, carrots, and spinach. The quinoa and brown rice mixture helps to fill your below with protein and you won't even miss the meat.
I like having Seeds of Change Quinoa and Brown Rice packets on hand. They cook in 90 seconds and I add them to salads, soups, grain bowls, and sweet potatoes. They make quick, healthy lunches that can't be beaten.
