Side Dish Ideas

Prep Time

40 mins

Ingredients

4 large sweet potatos (chopped into small chunks)
1 tbsp Cinnamon
1 tbsp Curry powder
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 – 2 tbsp of Olive oil
4 cups of rocket
1 cup of watermelon (chopped into small chunks)
1 cup of raisins

Dressing:

2 tbsp of olive oil
1 tbsp of maple syrup
2 tsp of cinnamon
2 tsp of curry powder
1 tbsp of water

Directions

Peel sweet potatoes and chop into small cubes.
Spread on roasting tray, adding olive oil and spices evenly. (Tip: to make this easier, add olive oil, spices, garlic and sweet potato into separate bowl and toss for a 30 seconds.)
Roast for 20 mins at 180 degrees Celsius (356 degrees Fahrenheit) using a fan oven.
Wait to let the sweet potato chunks cool.
Meanwhile, combine dressing ingredients in a separate bowl/cup/jar. (Tip: I like to use a jar so that I shake it up!)
Then, in your salad bowl, add all the remaining ingredients (rocket, watermelon, raisins and sweet potato), pour dressing over and toss.

And enjoy!

Weight Loss and the Calorie in vs Calorie Out Lie

It is unfortunate that the vast majority of people still think that the best way to lose weight is to eat less and exercise more – i.e. creating a calorie deficit so that you expend more calories than you take in. While this does work in the short term, the health and diversity of microbiome plays a significant role in whether you will manage to keep off the weight or whether you will put it all back on.
