    6 Sweet Potato Recipes to Try This Holiday

    6 Sweet Potato Recipes to Try This Holiday

    Sweet potatoes seem to be almost synonymous with the holidays. In fact, I can remember a time when Thanksgiving and Christmas were the only times people thought about sweet potatoes. They’re a staple in holiday pies and casseroles, but did you know that sweet potatoes are also a superfood? A one cup serving of sweet potatoes contains 3 grams of fiber, 52% of the daily requirement of vitamin C, a whopping 214% of the daily requirement of vitamin A, and only 180 calories. They have also been shown to help regulate blood sugar, strengthen the immune system, and reduce the risk of cancer. So, why not try some of these lighter version of your favorite sweet potato treats this year.
