Sweet potatoes are great nutriente filled good. They have a great sweet flavor which will curb sweet craving. One cup of sweet potato contains 65% of the daily required amount of Vitamin C! It has a low glycemic index which means that it won't make your blood sugars increase! They are high in potassium which helps with muscle cramps and stress.

Usually having one sweet potato as a meal doesn't quite fill me up as much as I want it to but adding the avocado adds some healthy fat and is quite satisfying. Until now I've usually added butter or ghee to make the potato creamy but the avocado works just as well.
