Sweet Potato, Kale & Sausage Bowl

Ingredients: Serving 2

• 1 large sweet potato roasted and cooled (that’s about 1 1/2 cups)

• 1⁄2 small onion finely diced

• 1-2 button mushrooms chopped

• 4 oz organic sausage casing removed

• Salt and pepper to taste

• 5 kale leaves stems removed and chopped (you can sub collard or baby spinach)

• 1⁄4 cup full fat coconut milk

• 1 tsp garam masala

• 1⁄2 tsp spicy curry

• 1⁄4 tsp ground ginger

• 1⁄4 tsp ground cinnamon

• 1-2 tbsp organic toasted coconut shavings

• 1-2 tbsp full fat coconut milk

Directions

Roast the sweet potato ahead of time. Peel and dice into bite-sized pieces. Toss with a small amount of olive oil, salt & pepper. Spread onto a baking sheet and roast in a 350 degree oven for about 15-20 minutes until tender. Remove from the oven and cool.

In a heavy skillet set over medium high heat melt a little bit of coconut oil. When oil is nice and hot, add onions, mushrooms, salt and pepper and cook until the veggies are fragrant and softened, about 2-3 minutes. Add sausage, garam masala, curry, ginger and cinnamon and continue cooking until the sausage is no longer pink in color.

Throw in the chopped kale and cook, stirring delicately, until the kale starts to wilt and turns a vivid dark green. Stir in coconut milk and continue cooking just until heated through. Transfer cooled sweet potato into bowls, top with kale and sausage mixture and garnish with a handful of toasted coconut, a little coconut milk and a pinch of garam masala.

Enjoy!

Healthy 3 Ingredient Chocolate Banana Ice Cream

Chocolate Banana Ice Cream tastes EXACTLY like chocolate ice cream and is made with only 3 ingredients and they're all healthy. My favorite way to eat it is as soft serve right out of the blender but you can also freeze so it's firm enough to scoop into ice cream cones.

This Chocolate Banana Ice Cream recipe has been on serious repeat here for weeks. Like, every other day kind of repeat. I must have made it four times before I realized that I had to share the recipe with you. It's seriously the easiest healthy ice cream recipe there is and you would NEVER know it's good for you.

The first time I made it I threw the three ingredients in my Vitamix without measuring. My handsome man, who's super skeptical about healthy treats, rolled his eyes and told me I was making mashed up bananas, not ice cream. He changed his tune when he tried it and asked me to make more when his bowl was empty.

And honestly, how could he not?

Just look at that scoop!
