Sweet Potato Recipes Vegan

How are you holding up, guys? I hope that the festive period has not taken too much of a toll on you? Have you made any New Year’s resolutions? Are they sticking? My main resolution is to take better care of my mental health. I’ve stuck to running 4 times a week (unfortunately 5 may have proved to be a bit too ambitious) and that consistency has had a massive impact on my mood already, so I am motivated to keep going.

It does feel tough at times, like today when the temperature outside feels like just above freezing and it takes good 10 minutes of running before I don’t feel cold anymore, but the benefits outweigh the negatives, so I am sold on it.

Apart from a few blips that have been caused by real life stuff, I have been feeling good and managed to keep depression at bay for a while now. I still get anxious though – mostly in the morning and in middle of the night when I sometimes wake up with a looming sense of dread, even though there is nothing dreadful going on.

It’s just my imagination going wild on me, coming up with the most insane scenarios that aren’t at all believable when I am not in the midst of an anxiety attack. It’s so weird. So my resolution is to get better at doing yoga and meditating daily to quiet my overactive mind, instead of wasting my time on social media, which actually makes me feel a lot worse. I’m sure many of you can relate?

If there are any new vegans out there reading this post, I wanted to say ‘hi! I’m so glad you’ve decided to give it a go’ and welcome you with a pot of heart warming sweet potato and cauliflower curry! It’s easy to make, delicious and filling.

This curry features one of my favourite vegetables (I mean, it is pretty hard to choose as I genuinely love them all) – sweet potato, which according to Dr Greger might be one of the healthiest and cheapest sources of nutrition (full video here). It contains a unique type of protein called

Since the weather outside is a bit chillier, I figure there is nothing better than a cozy bowl of stew. And sweet potatoes are the star!

The biggest draw here for me is the fact that this sweet potato stew is made in one pot and in just over 30 minutes or so. Plus, it's filling and hearty without any meat.

To get the best sweet potatoes that will give you the sweet taste and creamy texture when cooked, look for: small to medium-sized potatoes that feel firm to the touch and with smooth skin.

It is so tempting to buy those massive sweet potatoes at the supermarket, but try to refrain and get those smaller ones. Larger sweet potatoes are going to be a lot starchier.

The potato should feel firm and have fairly smooth skin. If the sweet potato feels squishy or the flesh gives, it’s probably passed its prime.

I think it is so great when you get home with a perfect sweet potato and cut into it to reveal that bright orange flesh. That’s how I know I’ve done a good job.

Sweet potatoes are of the healthiest foods one can eat. They are filled with vitamins and minerals like vitamins A, C, and B6, magnesium, potassium, and more.

Simple Vegetarian Sweet Potato Stew

It may sound strange to you, but one of the things that most excites me about sweet potatoes is that they are great for gut health. Because, not only are they an excellent source of one but two kinds of fiber, which is amazing for digestion.

Sweet potatoes contain both soluble and insoluble fiber. And because the human body can't digest either type, instead of breaking down as they pass through the digestive tract, these fibers move about intact, doing some amazing things for the gut.

SO many amazing ingredients and spices in this stew, but also nothing over the top. It is the perfect balance of super simple, but complex in flavor.

Sweet potatoes – Earthy and sweet, sweet potatoes are the star of the stew. They are hearty, creamy, and perfectly replace meat in the stew, so you are not going to miss it!

Baby spinach, carrots, tomatoes – Fresh baby spinach and carrots add more veggies to the stew and take on the flavors well. Carrots become tender and the mild baby spinach wilts and almost melts into the soup.

Mediterranean spices – What really takes this simple sweet potato stew to the next level is afoursome of bold spices with an Eastern Mediterranean flare:

Tip - To test if the carrots and sweet potatoes are tender and cooked through, stick a fork or knife into a piece of each. If it goes in without resistance and is soft, they are fully cooked!
