My husband brought home a ton of sweet potato flour because he says it helps with his gut, and I love to get creative and innovate new gluten free recipes, because I have an autoimmune thyroid issue, Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, that may be reversible by avoiding gluten (and other triggers).
Furthermore, did you know the fiber and antioxidants in sweet potatoes may help promote gut health, support the immune system, enhance brain function, improve vision, etc.
And besides loving the taste of blueberries, I just love that they are full of vitamins to help my skin, bones, blood pressure, mental health, and digestion. Finally, I snuck in some oat bran for fiber and extra cage free eggs for protein, these muffins became our healthy Saturday morning breakfast before an active day of hiking!
