I’ve been cooking at a high level for quite some time now and I feel that is it now necessary for me to share my recipes so I can improve the health and wellness of those around me.
This breakfast is my go to, it is quick and fairly easy to make, and not to mention unbelievably healthy. It provides every essential nutrient to fuel my body no matter what stress I put on it throughout the day.
The plate is made up of sweet potatoes, golden beets, onion, mixed greens, and avocado. The smoothie is made up of homemade almond milk, banana, cinnamon, cacao nibs and maca.
I want to take a minute to talk about maca, which is a very important player in this dish. Maca is grown under extreme conditions, high in the Andes. The conditions in which it grows under are intense sunlight, turbulent winds, and extreme fluctuations in temperature. These extreme conditions have characterized maca, which make it the perfect choice for individuals (such as myself) who live in high elevated cold climates and/or with extreme adventure lifestyles. Research concludes that the main benefits of maca are increased energy, endurance, libido, physical strength, blood flow, and neurotransmitter production.
Now that you have a little information on what you’re eating and how it benefits you get out there and try it! Not only will this dish have you feeling great, it is also delicious!
Cooking Instructions:
1. Start by chopping up your sweet potatoes, onions and beets into little squares, the smaller they are the faster they will cook.
2. Heat up a 10 inch pan with about a tablespoon of coconut oil or olive oil. (Medium Heat)
3. Add diced sweet potatoes, onions and beets, mix them around with the oil and then cover the pan with a lid. Let them sit for about 5 minutes, then start adding your spices, I use himalayan salt, pepper, cumin, garlic powder and cayenne pepper (if you like it spicy). I usually just eyeball the amount of each spice I put in the dish, its just personal preference. If you don’t have some of the spices that are listed then you can either add your own or just use salt and pepper.
4. Mix it all together then let it cook for another 10 minutes.
5. Open the lid and check to see if the sweet potatoes are soft, if you can easily put a fork through them then they are done.
6. Put your mixed greens on a plate, add the cooked ingredients and then top it with some fresh avocado! Enjoy!
For the smoothie........
2 frozen bananas, 1/3 cup almond milk, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp of cacao nibs, 1 tsp of maca. If it is too frozen to blend then just add a little more almond milk!
