Recipe: Sweet Potato Breakfast Boat
Using your fork, pierce a few holes in your sweet potato. Then, microwave it on high until soft, which usually takes about 5 minutes. Turn potato over at the halfway mark. If the sweet potato is still hard, continue cooking in 1-minute increments until the desired consistency.
Let it cool. Then, cut the potato in half. Scoop out 3/4 of the inside and mash with 1/4 tsp of cinnamon and 1/4 tsp powdered ginger. Then replace it in the sweet potato skin.
Top with 1 tbsp natural almond butter, ½ cup blueberries, 1 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt, and ⅓ cup low-sugar granola. Sprinkle ½ tsp of orange zest over the top for the finishing touch.
