We’re always on the look out for new and fun ways to make healthy food swaps. Sometimes when you find your favourite or go-to foods are the ones that are contributing to your feeling less than your best, it can feel like you’re missing out. It can be challenging to find replacement foods that hit the mark. Toast is often one of those go-to foods that doesn’t always agree with people. Although it’s quick to prepare and doesn’t take much thinking space, it can have severe side effects. Look no further than these Sweet Potato Toasts. With only one extra step (slicing), these incredible toast swaps are filling and satisfying and work with sweet and savoury toppings. Sweet potatoes are teaming with nutrients, their carbohydrates are more complex and contain fibre so that energy levels are kept stable for longer. Rich in vitamins A and C, the cooler months are the perfect time to make the switch to boost immune function and prevent seasonal colds and flu.
