Hello Friends!
I hope that your Monday has been productive, and filled with fun and more food! I know that most of the times Monday will feel like a drag, but I know that you will get through it! For me, I woke up super early today to brainstorm post ideas, and to whip up this recipe for you guys!
Are you guys a morning bird or a late owl? I struggle with this because sometimes I do end up staying late thinking of ideas, and studying, but my body is programmed to wake up at 7 which makes me a morning bird too! In general, I do like waking up earlier in the morning, because my body feels more refreshed, and also I feel like the day is stretched longer. One thing I enjoy doing in the morning is making a schedule of what my day would look like. I know you guys all have a busy life, but take your time to make a schedule. It relieves stress, and also you will be able to "check off" what you have done which makes you feel more productive!
I shared on my Instagram, that I hope you will use this recipe as some Monday motivation to eat cleaner. We all struggle with eating chips and all, but trust me, if you treat your body with good pure food, you will feel more energized and your body won't get that added exhaustion due to food comas.
This is a simple recipe, and roasting the sweet potato technique can be applied to any other veggies you lie ie cauliflower, potato, and so much more! Roasted sweet potatoes is something that you can eat as a snack, top it on your salad, or a side to your dinner. So please if you follow this recipe- tell me how it goes!!
I love the color of sweet potato!
