12 Oct Baked Sweet Potato with Avocado

Baked Sweet Potato with Avocado
Sweet potatoes are a staple in my diet. For this recipe I bake them whole in the oven and then fill them up with spinach, kidney beans and guacamole. Super simple to make, only a few ingredients are required and really good for you!
Sweet potatoes are rich in fiber, vitamins and minerals. Because of the beautiful vibrant orange color they are high in antioxidants.
I hope you will this recipe as much as I do!
