I made a spinach leaf salad with celery, carrots, broccoli and a few spoonfuls of leftover quinoa and kidney beans. Last but certainly not least, I decided to try baking a sweet potato in the oven. Good choice, Danielle! have had sweet potatoes probably once before in my life and they obviously didn't make a lasting impression. BUT, tonight, the simple sweet potato blew my mind! It was soooo delicious, it tasted like candy. Some parts were soft and other parts were crunchy and it was just a really amazing experience LOL. The fiber content has kept me full as well. I did some research and in general, sweet potatoes are one of the best veggies to have. They are filled with carotenoids, vitamic C, 470 mg of potassium (for one medium one), 4 grams of fiber and 2 grams of protein. By the way - carotenoids protect your cells from the damaging effects of free radicals, provide a source of vitamin A and antioxidents, and enhance the functioning of your immune and reproductive systems.
