Hey, I'm Keri Glassman here with some quick and simple tips to help you feel just a little
bit better.
Holiday meals with all the turkey, stuffing, and mashed potatoes are usually not suited
to our daily diet plan – or are they?
It turns out many traditional holiday meals have ingredients that are superfoods, so stock
up on those foods this season.
And, of course, choose the holiday recipes that call for these foods in the healthiest
manner.
Today we’re talking sweet potatoes.
Yes, sweet potatoes.
A lot of you probably already have sweet potatoes on the menu over the holidays, even if you
didn’t know that they’re a natural exfoliant, full of vitamin A, which is a key component
your body uses to create new skin cells.
Sweet potatoes are also loaded with fiber and are less calories than a traditional white
potato.
If you were already planning to serve sweet potatoes, great!
Candied sweet potatoes are a great side dish, but there are many other ways to prepare them
that have less sugar and calories.
Do a search for recipes.
One of my favorites is a sweet potato hash, which you can find on my website – the link
is in the description below.
You can also serve a simple baked sweet potato with a combo of cinnamon, nutmeg and drop
of butter.
So remember: Sweet potatoes are an excellent part of a holiday menu, for their flavor and
their health benefits.
So eat up, and you’ll feel just a little bit better!
