Sweet Potato Turkey Bowl Ingredient Benefits
Ground Turkey– A great source of protein, and contains B6, & B12, important B vitamins which aid in the development of brain and nerve cells. It is a lower calorie lean white meat that is rich in vitamins and nutrients. Natural and organic turkey is the healthiest option!
Sweet Potatoes– These are rich in nutrients, including B vitamins, vitamin C, calcium, iron, phosphorus, and potassium. It’s also high in vitamin A, which aids in healthy vision and immune system.
Green Beans– A low-calorie vegetable, high in vitamins A, C and folate. Fresh is always best to use first, but if not available choose frozen to keep vitamin levels intact.
Avocado– High in healthy fats, fiber, potassium, magnesium, folate, vitamins C, K, E and B6. Avocados have been found to have positive links to reducing risk of heart disease and are beneficial for gut health. Plus, they are high in anti-inflammatory compounds.
Olive Oil– This healthy oil is key in the Mediterranean diet. It’s high in monounsaturated fats, which lowers “bad” LDL cholesterol and increases “good” HDL. It contains antioxidants and is anti-inflammatory. It also has been shown to lower blood pressure and risk of heart disease.
Coconut Aminos– A savory sauce that is used to flavor food, and is sometimes used as a substitute for soy sauce, since it is lower in salt. Coconut aminos have been shown to have various health properties, some including anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, and antioxidant.
