The benefits of eating sweet potatoes and avocados
If you’re new to introducing avocados and sweet potatoes into your diet let me tell you a little bit about why I like them (besides the fact that they are so tasty). Root vegetables in of themselves are wonderful things to include in your diet because they are high in vitamins and minerals. Sweet potatoes are reputed to be rich in beta-carotene, vitamin A, and anti-inflammatory benefits amongst others. Whereas, avocado a fruit, is reputed to also have lots of vitamins especially vitamin K, is an excellent source of potassium, and chock full of good monounsaturated fatty acids and fiber, just to name some of its highlights.
In other words, these two foods combined deliver a whopping amount of essential vitamins, minerals, and nutrients. So without further ado, I give you the simple, yet wonderfully delicious Avocado Sweet Potato Toast recipe. Bon Appetit!

Got to give this a try!
You had me at sweet potato and avocado! I would never have thought to put these two together but I love them separately so much, why not? And this seems so simple!
I’ve never tried sweet potatoes with avocado. I love sweet potatoes and avocado toast though, so I think I’ll give this a try!
This is very timely. I’m now preparing breakfast. The good thing is that we have potato and avocado in the fridge. Yayyy! Thank God I read this blog. Looking forward to read more recipes.
This looks so delicious. I know my mom would really love this, I’m got to make this for her soon.
Avocado and sweet potato? Yes please!
I love sweet potatoes but never tried to mix them up with avocado… Have to try it!
Because I’ Mediterranean I usually sprinkle them with salt, olive oil, oregano, and of course onion and garlic! Bake them for a while and voilà! 😉
