Orange sweet potatoes are loaded with beta-carotene, which supports eye health, immunity, and glowing skin.

The Power of Ingredients
Sweet Potatoes
Sweet potatoes are a nutritional powerhouse! They’re loaded with fiber, antioxidants, and vitamin A, which supports immune function and glowing skin.
Black Beans & Pinto Beans
Beans are a staple for plant-based protein and long-lasting energy. Black beans are rich in antioxidants, while pinto beans add a creamy texture and a dose of iron and folate.
Lime Juice
Not only does it add a zesty, citrusy kick, but it also helps enhance iron absorption from plant-based ingredients like beans and greens.
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
There’s a reason EVOO is a staple in Mediterranean diets! It’s full of heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and powerful antioxidants that fight inflammation and support brain health. Drizzling it over roasted veggies or using it in dressings instantly elevates any dish.
Cilantro
It’s not just flavorful—it’s also known for its natural detoxifying properties, helping to remove heavy metals from the body.
Chili Powder
It’s packed with capsaicin, which may help boost metabolism and fight inflammation, making it a flavorful and functional spice.
Cumin
Aids digestion and is known for its antimicrobial properties.
Paprika
Is high in antioxidants, which help support immune function.
Garlic
It’s packed with powerful compounds that support immunity and heart health while adding a deep, savory richness to any dish.
Sea Salt
Good quality sea salt contains trace minerals like magnesium and potassium that help with hydration and electrolyte balance. A little sprinkle enhances flavors beautifully—just be mindful of overdoing it!
Black Pepper
Black pepper isn’t just for seasoning—it actually helps your body absorb nutrients more effectively, especially curcumin from turmeric. Plus, its natural anti-inflammatory properties make it a small but mighty addition to meals.
