🛒 Ingredients

Base:

2 medium sweet potatoes

1 tablespoon coconut oil or olive oil

1/2 cup Greek yogurt or plant-based yogurt

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Bake the Sweet Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly, pierce them with a fork, and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until tender.

2. Prepare the Boats: Once baked and slightly cooled, slice each sweet potato lengthwise. Gently scoop out a portion of the flesh to create a "boat," leaving enough flesh to maintain structure.

3. Assemble: Fill each sweet potato boat with yogurt, then layer with berries, granola, nut butter, chia seeds, and a drizzle of honey or maple syrup. Finish with a sprinkle of cinnamon.

4. Serve: Enjoy immediately, or store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days for a quick grab-and-go breakfast.
