We love sweet potatoes and eggs for this dish because they are a powerhouse duo when it comes to nutrition. Sweet potatoes are rich in vitamins A and C, fiber, and antioxidants, which support a healthy immune system, skin health, and digestive health. Their high fiber content help keep you feeling full and satisfied longer (not to mention their delicious, sweet flavor). Eggs, on the other hand, are an excellent source of high-quality protein, essential amino acids, and nutrients like vitamin D, a variety of B vitamins, as well as choline. Together, they provide a balanced meal that supports muscle growth, brain function, and overall well-being, making this combination a smart choice for a healthy and delicious start to your day.
