Quinoa Sweet Potato Bowl

When you are cutting processed foods, there are two main tactics. First, you can take the things you already eat and try to convert them to clean eating, unprocessed versions. This can be very effective sometimes, and other times the results can be… questionable. Thankfully in this recipe I’m giving you an awesome dressing that you can whip up in a minute flat, and it’s delicious on any salad out there. This way better than the bottled stuff, and so easy!

The other tactic when cutting processed foods is to replace your habitual meals with new ones. If you are going to make a new recipe something you will make over and over, it should be simple, filling, and delicious. And of course, that’s exactly what this recipe is!

Enough chit-chat, let’s get to the recipe.
