HMR entrees heat up in about a minute - but be sure to combine them with fresh cooked, canned or frozen veggies to add volume and variety.
Prep ahead of time for this One Minute Lunch by baking a few sweet potatoes on a quiet Sunday afternoon. They'll be good to go when you are!
Did you know that Sweet Potatoes are one of the healthiest foods you can eat?
Here's what the Mayo Clinic has to say about sweet potatoes:
Why eat sweet potatoes? The deep orange-yellow color of sweet potatoes tells you that they're high in the antioxidant beta carotene. Food sources of beta carotene, which are converted to vitamin A in your body, may help slow the aging process and reduce the risk of some cancers. Sweet potatoes are also good sources of fiber, vitamins B-6, C and E, folate and potassium. And like all vegetables, they're fat-free and relatively low in calories - one small sweet potato has just 54 calories.
