healthy breakfast sweet potato turmeric protein muffins grain free dairy free gluten freeSo I’ve been obsessed with turmeric lately more than ever…. turmeric and sweet potatoes. The stains on my new shirt though, not to obsessed with those…

I honestly don’t know what it is but I would choose a plate of sweet potatoes over dessert anyday! They are just sooo satisfying and accompany literally any meal, any time of day! Its that nutty, sweet, creamy taste whether they are roasted, mashed or baked that makes them so highly addictive.

Additionally, they are a good source of potassium, dietary fiber, niacin, vitamin B1, vitamin B2 and phosphorus. They are also known to actually help people lose weight! I love adding sweet potato to a soup, stew or casserole to thicken it naturally without adding high-fat creams or in this context to add healthy carbs and protein to the muffin batter, making them super moist and delicious!

As an avid and dedicated athletic 30 year old woman I truly believe working out & exercising is the key to a healthy, more youthful body, inside and out. With that said I am constantly trying to find ways to incorporate more heathy fats and carbs into my day to day meals and snacks, keeping my mind and body fuelled for the day ahead.

For example, if I find a recipe online that isn’t 100% healthy and uses processed ingredients such as butter, sugar and white flour I know I can easily swap them out for coconut oil, natural sweeteners such as maple syrup & honey and gluten-free flour or flour made directly from nuts/legumes or sprouted grains.

Here are a few examples of the ingredients I’ve chosen to use for this recipe.

Here are some great ways to use turmeric:

  • Blended into a smoothie for a bit of bite and a brilliant golden color
  • Grated into Greek yogurt for a fabulous dipping sauce
  • Stirred into rice or lentil dishes, or better yet, added before cooking to give everything a yellow tinge
  • Rub onto meats or fish before grilling
  • Whisk into homemade salad dressings like my “Creamy Tahini Dressing
  • Made into a paste for the start of the warming drink known as Golden Milk
