These Easy Black Bean Stuffed Sweet Potatoes with Avocado will not let this happen to you:
Have you ever ate a meal and then like 30 minutes later you're back at the fridge again, wondering what you can snack on?
I think you know what I mean. We've all been there????♀️
A less-than-filling meal is so unsatisfying. Not to mention inefficient! If I'm gonna eat, at least keep me fueled-up so I can do what I gotta do and not have to go to battle with the hAnGriNEss monster☠️
If you've ever felt that way then I think you're gonna love this recipe for Easy Black Bean Stuffed Sweet Potatoes with Avocado.
The title says it all:
Easy. Black Beans. Sweet Potatoes. Avocado.
All things that make up life. This flavour combination is so good, you could puree it all together and spread it on toast. Ok, that's a bit out of hand but you get my drift. It's good????
If you've ever felt that your meal just isn't keeping you satisfied, then I think you're gonna love this recipe for Easy Black Bean Stuffed Sweet Potatoes with Avocado.
So the combo tastes great (win????); it's easy to make (????) and it's super healthy.
What makes it so healthy? Well for one, we've got a hit of healthy carbs that comes from the black beans and sweet potatoes. Plus, the slow digesting starch will keep your blood sugars stable and prevent hangriness later.
The protein is another win for this recipe too: the black beans give an awesome protein punch and if that's not enough, the avocado gives you some healthy fats. WOW.
Getting these Easy Black Bean Stuffed Sweet Potatoes with Avocado on the table is super easy, too. The only thing that takes some time is the roasting of the sweet potatoes.
Now you can microwave the sweet potatoes but roasting them in the oven (as I describe in the recipe) is waaaaay better. Roasting them really brings out the sweetness in these babies. The microwave works but be forewarned my friend: you don't get the sweet taste that roasting brings.
So if you want this meal to come together quickly, be sure to roast a few sweet potatoes on the weekend or whenever you have time and keep them in fridge. You can easily re-heat the sweet potato in the microwave when it comes time to eat and warm up the black beans with salsa when you need.
