In addition to those sweet potatoes—which are a great source of nutrients like fiber, vitamin A, vitamin C, manganese, vitamin B6, magnesium, and potassium—this breakfast also features fresh ginger-which has potent antioxidant properties, organic veggies- daily, nutrient-dense formula to support healthy digestive function. It's further packed with Ayurvedic spices such as cinnamon, cardamom, and nutmeg—all of which contain anti-inflammatory properties, among other benefits. Cinnamon can also help promote healthy blood sugar levels (I suggest reaching for Ceylon cinnamon, if possible).

Instructions

Step 1

Warm your oil in a saucepan on medium heat, and grate your fresh ginger into the pan. Saute for 30 to 60 seconds so the ginger starts to get a touch caramelized, not brown. (If you're using ginger powder, you can heat with the oil for 30 seconds.)

Step 2

Add your chopped sweet potato and apple to the pan, and cover with water or coconut water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and allow the sweet potatoes to simmer.

Step 3

Add your spices and date to the mix, and stir until combined. Simmer until your sweet potato and apple are soft; this should take 5 to 10 minutes.

Step 4

Add the mixture to a blender or food processor, along with your organic veggies+. Blend until smooth.

Step 5

Pour into your favorite bowl and enjoy! Optional: Top your bowl with a dollop of unsweetened coconut yogurt and walnuts (or your preferred nut of choice).
