It’s colorful and it’s filling. And, most of all, Jamie Truppi’s Sweet Potato Avocado and Sauerkraut “Toast” is chock full of nutrition.
Truppi, a certified nutrition specialist and author of “Clean Food, Messy Life,” recently spent a morning cooking with Marie Gallo for today’s Marie’s Kitchen segment on Eye on Sun Valley. You won’t want to miss it. While there, she also shared a vegan recipe for Cashew Cream Parfait.
SWEET POTATO AVOCADO AND SAUERKRAUT “TOAST”
sweet potato
avocado
cumin
garlic powder or sea salt
Slice a sweet potato as if you were making scalloped potatoes and sprinkle with sea salt. Bake at 400 degrees for 16 minutes.
Smash avocado and spread it on the potato slices. Sprinkle a little cumin and garlic powder on top and top with sauerkraut. If you like, you can add a poached egg or microgreens.

4 dates, pitted
creamed honey
¼ cup grapefruit juice
grated zest of grapefruit
2 tablespoons coconut cream milk
