Hey Everyone!
Many times I have heard people say that if you desire to eat healthier, then you cannot eat dessert or eat anything sweet or you can’t eat food that taste good. This is so far from the truth. I believe and teach that one of the first STEPS to eating better is to simply take foods you already enjoy and finds ways to make them healthier!
Eating healthier can be very hard for many, but it is doable. I love to share simple and inexpensive ways this can be done. You don’t have to give up on eating tasty foods to start your journey to a healthier you. If you like cookies, you can have chocolate chip cookies or brownies.
I had 1 sweet potato left and decided to make something with it. Yes! I said sweet potato! You can literally take a handful of ingredients and make a tasty and delicious dessert or snack.

OATS

PLANT BASED MILK

What Did I Use:
- 1 medium sweet potato
- 1 Tbsp. honey
- 1 1/2 cup old fashioned oats
- 2 Tbsp. melted peanut butter
- Plant Based Milk
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (for top)
In my blender, I added all ingredients except the chocolate chips and blended until I got desired texture. Now with the milk, I do not know exactly what I used , but start 1/2 cup and add more as need as you blend. Once blending is complete, pour in a square baking pan and spread evenly and top with chocolate chips.
Bake at 350 degrees for at least 20 minute.
Enjoy!
