Easy Lunch Idea: Sweet Potato Fries + Black Beans and Quinoa
This is a super simple meal idea that is wholesome and satiating! Sweet potatoes are rich in Vitamin A and are considered to be anti-inflammatory, something that is especially important for hormone health. The quinoa and black beans provide just the right amount of protein to keep you full so that you don’t feel hungry all the time!
As a college student, I love quick and easy meals and this is it. The sweet potatoes can be cooked in the oven, the black beans came out of a can, and the quinoa can be cooked in the microwave. Easy peasy 🙂
