Sweet Potato Pie Without The Crust?
December 14th, 2009
Does the thought of eating sweet potato or yams have you rolling your eyes? Think again!! Both are packed with vitamins, high in fiber and easy to prepare. Sweet potatoes have anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties as well as antioxidants. And for those of you counting calories… a medium size sweet potato has approximately 100 calories. The following recipe I discovered when craving something sweet and needing to use up some yams. I have since made the dish with both – sweet potato and yams and both are divine!
- Scrub 1 medium sized sweet potato or yam
- Steam or cut in chunks and boil until tender
- Mash and mix in real butter, raw honey and top with coconut flakes
It doesn’t get any sweeter (or easier) than that!
**Note: I use all organic ingredients because they are healthier and taste better. Raw honey is full of enzymes that are better absorbed by the body than processed sugar. If blood sugar is an issue, omit the honey and the eat sweet potato/yam without a sweetener or you can use stevia (or something similar). Eating them with vegetables and protein helps slow the release of sugar into the blood.
