Why Sweet Potatoes Are Your Luteal Phase BFF
Sweet potatoes aren’t just a tasty treat; they’re packed with nutrients that can help you feel your best during the luteal phase. Rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals, they can help:
Reduce inflammation: The antioxidants in sweet potatoes can help reduce inflammation, which can contribute to bloating and discomfort.
Regulate digestion: The fiber in sweet potatoes can help alleviate bloating and constipation, common symptoms during the luteal phase.
Balance mood swings: The complex carbohydrates in sweet potatoes can help stabilize blood sugar levels, reducing mood swings and irritability.
Improve sleep quality: The magnesium in sweet potatoes can promote relaxation and improve sleep quality, helping you feel rested and refreshed.
A Simple Recipe for Irresistible Fries
Ingredients:
- 2 or more large sweet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon organic cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven: Set your oven to 450°F (230°C).
- Prep the potatoes: Peel and scrub the sweet potatoes clean and cut them into even-sized fries.
- Season to perfection: Toss the fries with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Bake to golden brown: Spread the seasoned fries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until crispy and golden.
- Indulge: Enjoy your homemade crispy sweet potato fries as a satisfying snack or side dish.
Tips for the Ultimate Fry Experience:
- Soak for extra crispiness: Soaking the sweet potato fries in cold water for 30 minutes before baking can help remove excess starch, resulting in a crispier texture.
- Experiment with seasonings: Feel free to experiment with different seasonings to find your favorite flavor combination. Try adding a sprinkle of chili powder, cumin, or smoked paprika for a unique twist.
Indulging in a delicious treat doesn’t have to mean sacrificing your health.
