Sweet Potatoes

Sweet potatoes are one of my favorite side dishes to make! I enjoy roasting them best. I like them thin and with a bit of crunch.
 My favorite recipe is to roast thin fry like slices at 425 degrees in coconut or olive oil with some Pink Himalayan Salt and Cracked Pepper for about 45 minutes. Stirring gently twice. They come out NICE and soft with a crunch and brown edges! 
OMG SO GOOD!
This is by far definitely one of my favorite veg. 



Even though it’s a high carb veg I make them often. They are are extremely beneficial to your body. Clean eats! 

  • They are high in vitamin B6.
  • They are a good source of vitamin C which helps produces collagen which helps maintain skin’s youthful elasticity, and is es essential o helping us cope with stress.
  • They contain Vitamin D.
  • They contain iron.
  • They are a good source of magnesium which is the relaxation and anti-stress mineral. 
  • They are a source of potassium. 
  • They are low glycemic index! Meaning their natural sugars are slowly released into the bloodstream, helping to ensure a balanced and regular source of energy, without the blood sugar spikes linked to fatigue and weight gain.

And they are just sweet and tasty! 

Good stuff give them a try!

3 Day Refresh Review

I was so happy when I discovered they came out with a 3 day cleanse. The 21 Day Reset is amazing but you don't always want to take 21 days to do a cleanse. And its hard for me NOT to workout for 21 whole days. Feels weird to me. 

This short cleanse was a pleasant surprise. I not only got to have my shakes which I love, but REAL FOOD TOO! Imagine that! In all honestly you don't go hungry if you stay on an eating schedule and choose from the foods you like best.  And you still get to workout and have plenty of energy to do so. 

After the 3 days I lost my bloat AND 4 lbs. For me THIS WAS GREAT! That was my goal. I am planning on doing this 3 day cleanse once a month now. Just a little refresh. :) In the meantime, I'm continuing with my Shakeology and PIYO to get some inches down and gain some lean muscle. HAPPY PANTS!
