🥔 Why Sweet Potato & Egg?

Sweet potatoes are a naturally sweet, fiber-rich root vegetable loaded with:

  • Complex carbs for lasting energy
  • Beta-carotene (Vitamin A) for skin and eye health
  • Potassium and magnesium for muscle support
  • A low glycemic index, which helps stabilize blood sugar

Pair that with eggs, which offer:

  • High-quality protein
  • Healthy fats
  • Choline and B-vitamins to support brain and metabolism

Together, they make a powerhouse combo that’s gluten-free, budget-friendly, and satisfyingly delicious.
