MEAL PREP SWEETPOTATO BURRITO BOWLS

Recipe created by DJ Blatner, RDN, CSSD
February is National Sweetpotato Month! In celebration of this ORANGE SUPERFOOD, I’ve teamed up with the North Carolina Sweetpotato Commission to share one of my favorite MEAL PREP recipes: SWEETPOTATO BURRITO BOWLS. 
Meal Prep Sweetpotato Burrito Bowls are the perfect make-ahead meal for lunch or dinner during a busy week. Make 4 of these to keep in the fridge so you’ll have craveable, balanced meals ready to just grab & go. 
SWEETPOTATOES are an ORANGE SUPERFOOD full of important nutrients.  
Each medium SWEETPOTATO has so much to celebrate… 
🧡 only about 100 CALORIES 
🧡 QUALITY CARBS (for steady energy) 
🧡 FIBER (4 grams which is more than in a packet of oatmeal!) 
🧡 VITAMIN A (over 100% of your daily needs) 
🧡 VITAMIN C (immune boosting antioxidant) 
🧡 ELECTROLYTES like 440mg potassium, 70mg sodium, and 32mg magnesium
