Protein Slop with Sweet Potatoes
5 steps
Prep:5minCook:15min
Not every meal has to look exquisite to taste good.  Here is what I'm calling "Protein Slop".   This face made for radio contains mashed tuna, avocado, and cottage cheese, with a side of air fried sweet potatoes, served over a bowl of shredded raw cabbage.  The only cooking required is just dicing and roasting a sweet potato, making this a very quick and convenient meal. It's a good source of protein, fiber, healthy fats, vitamin A, vitamin B12, and selenium that can be served both warm or cold
