Sweet Potato Breakfast

Makes 4 servings

This breakfast combines a smorgasbord of cultures into one delicious, healthy bowl. With maple syrup from Canada, sweet potatoes from Latin America, and Greek yogurt from, well, Greece, this dish is so easy to make, it just isn’t fair. And did I mention it’s healthy? Sweet potatoes are dense, nutritious roots, rich in fiber and antioxidants, which protect your body from free radical damage and promote the health of the intestines, heart and brain. Wherever you hail from, you have no excuse for not making this your next breakfast.
