Easy Nourishing Bowl I’ve Been Craving on Repeat (and It’s Gut-Loving + Glow-Boosting Too)

Okay, I need to put you on to this because it’s so simple but gives off major cozy, nutrient packed, feel good energy. I’ve been making this on repeat and honestly? It tastes like something you’d get at a cute little wellness café. Except it’s made right in your kitchen with whole, nourishing ingredients.

 Let’s Talk About the Star: Japanese Sweet Potato

You can totally use any kind of sweet potato you have, but I swear by Japanese sweet potatoes. They’re sweeter and fluffier on the inside, and I feel like they’re a bit more nutrient-dense too.

I actually looked it up, they’re full of antioxidants and have a slightly lower glycemic impact than the orange ones, which is a win in my book.

 What You’ll Need:

• 1 Japanese sweet potato, cooked whole
  I usually bake mine at 400°F until soft. About 45 to 60 minutes depending on the size. Once it’s done, slice it in half and get ready to load it up.
  
  

Pro tip: If you have a Ninja pressure cooker with bake or roast settings, use it. It cuts the cooking time in half and still gives you that cozy, home cooked feel.

How I Load It Up:

• A scoop of organic whole milk cottage cheese
  (I love Nancy’s probiotic one. Creamy, tangy, and great for gut health)
  
  

• A drizzle of organic cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil
  
  

• A spoonful of organic raw unfiltered honey
  (I use Local Hive Colorado)
  
  

• A sprinkle of Celtic sea salt
  
  

• A pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
  
  

• A dash of cinnamon for that warm, cozy kick
  
  

The flavor combo is unreal. Sweet, salty, creamy, spicy. Every bite is a little moment. It’s the kind of nourishing comfort food that makes you feel better after you eat it.

 Optional Protein Add-On:

To bulk it up, I’ll add chicken thighs on the side.
Here’s how I make them:

• Season with Celtic sea salt and oregano
  
  

• Pressure cook in organic bone broth instead of water (I like Epic brand)
  
  

• Finish with an air crisp to get that golden edge while keeping them juicy
  
  

 Final Thoughts

This bowl is everything. Glowy, balanced, filling, and just honestly good for you. Perfect for lunch, dinner, or even breakfast if you’re feeling it.

Let me know if you try it. I think you’ll be hooked.
