Yummy and Nutritious Sweet Potato and Nuts

Since the COVID-19, I have learnt and cooked more. I discovered that I can prepare healthy and yummy vegetarian dishes in easy and fuss-free way. 

Recently I used the steamed sweet potato and pumpkin and topped it with cranberry, honey coated macadamia, pumpkin, sesame and sunflower seeds with some pine nuts.The dish is creamy sweet and crunchy with seeds and nuts. It is both a meal and a dessert. 

From Healthline :The 17 Best Protein Sources for Vegans and Vegetarian
Nuts, seeds and their derived products are great sources of protein. 
One ounce (28 grams) contains between 5–7 grams of protein, depending on the nut and seed variety.
Nuts and seeds are also great sources of fiber and healthy fats, in addition to iron, calcium, magnesium, selenium, phosphorus, vitamin E and certain B vitamins. They also contain antioxidants, among other beneficial plant compounds (67Trusted Source). 
When choosing which nuts and seeds to buy, keep in mind that blanching and roasting may damage the nutrients in nuts. So reach for raw, unblanched versions whenever possible (68). 

Also, try opting for natural nut butters to avoid the oil, sugar and excess salt often added to many household brand varieties.


I brought the nuts and seeds at Alison's pantry
