Do you ever wake up on Monday’s and think to yourself, “why in the world did I eat all that crap this weekend?” Yah well, that was my weekend. I guess i’ve always used the weekend as an excuse to cheat. however now that I am pregnant, the struggle is REAL! I am lucky in the sense that I haven’t had any crazy food aversions. Also unlucky in the fact that everything sounds good and have little to no self control. But of course not everything makes me feel good. This Spiralized Sweet Potato Stir Fry is perfection because it is both delicious and nutritious.
With a healthy sweet potato noodle base, and loads of vegetables, you really can’t go wrong with this dish. The two things I’ve been craving lately are broccoli and peppers, and both are going to be your main vegetables in this recipe. In addition to onion of course.
Now that vegetable combination sounds perfect to me. If you’ve got other veggies on hand, go ahead and make some substitutes to customize this to your liking. I was thinking snow peas and carrots would be a great addition and or substitute. As is, i’d say this recipe is great for lunch, but when it comes to dinner I like something a little more filling. Adding in protein is the best way to do that to turn this lunch into a dinner. Chicken is probably the only thing I’d add personally, but shrimp and tofu could work as well.
All and all, anyone would benefit from adding this healthy recipe to their weekly meal plan. And even better it’s a 30 minute one pot meal loaded with asian style flavors. Tasty, easy, and stress free? Sign me up. On that note, we hope you all have a great start to your week. We’ll be back Wednesday with an Easter themed recipe round up to help get you ready for your Easter Sunday. Have a great day everyone!
