Protein-powered sweet potato with Greek yogurt

Bake several sweet potatoes and store in the refrigerator for a quick and easy meal. In this recipe, the vitamin A-packed tuber is piled high with Greek yogurt and a whopping 32g of protein.

Although the sugar is 24g, remember there is natural sugar found in the sweet potato and Greek yogurt. You can always scale down or cut out the brown sugar if you’re looking to cut back.
