I love baking and cooking but I have a bad habit of making them way more complicated than they need to be. I always come up with these grand plans for what I’ll cook in a given week.

But as soon as I get hungry, I realise that I just don’t have the energy or time to make the freakin’ 55 course meal I dreamed up in my head. And I end up eating cereal instead. #truestory

So I’ve been on a mission to dream up food that’s healthy, delicious and most importantly, easy to make. Like this vegan breakfast sweet potato split.

I legit whipped this up in under 10 minutes one morning last week and haven’t been able to stop thinking about it since.

Vegan Breakfast Sweet Potato Split

This breakfast sweet potato split is basically a healthy, breakfast-friendly version of a banana split. I swapped out the banana for sweet potatoes, the ice cream for coconut yogurt and skipped the whipped cream altogether.

It looks fancy AF but it couldn’t be easier to throw together. All you have to do is wait 5 minutes for the potato to cook in the microwave, then stuff, sprinkle, top, drizzle and devour.

Oh, and if you use a chocolate drizzle, it totally counts as dessert.

Author: GiselleR @ ExSloth.com
Recipe type: Breakfast
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 1
Ingredients
  • 1 medium sweet potato, washed
  • ⅓ - ½ cup vegan coconut yogurt (I used vanilla flavoured)
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 3 - 4 fresh strawberries, cored and cut into quarters
  • 2 tbsp chopped pecans
  • 1 tbsp smooth peanut butter
  • Optional: ½ tbsp melted vegan chocolate
Instructions
  1. Pierce washed sweet potato with a fork or knife a few times and microwave on 'baked potato' setting until cooked all the way through (about 4 - 5 minutes depending on the size)*
  2. Cut down the centre, leaving a little skin attached at the bottom so it's not completely cut in half
  3. Stuff with vanilla coconut yogurt and sprinkle with ground cinnamon
  4. Top with strawberries and pecans and drizzle with peanut butter and melted chocolate, if using
  5. Serve immediately
Notes
You can also roast the sweet potato in the oven at 400F for about 45 - 60 minutes, if you prefer

For a really long time avocado on toast was a staple in my diet. I had it almost every Tuesday - mostly so I could have something to post on #toasttuesday. But when I took my extended break from social media last year I realised that I didn't actually want it week after week. And that just made honouring the real cravings 💯 times more satisfying🥑🍞💚
.
Moral of the story: Don't let anything but your body & health - not a hashtag, fad or photo op - dictate what you eat. Just do you 👊🏾

Quick thoughts on routines/comfort zones: I went skiing with some friends this weekend which is so far out of my comfort zone I still can't believe I went.
.
1. I get really anxious when I'm away from my apartment overnight (and this trip was ✌ nights)
2. New experiences scare me, especially when heights and falling are involved.
3. I'm scarily attached to my weekend routine and messing with that sends me into a tailspin.
.
Why I'm glad I went: The day started off horribly. There were tears and I had to be rescued by professionals a couple times but I kept going and by the end of the day I was having so much fun I didn't want to leave the slopes. I was also so tired after half a day of skiing I fell asleep before I could even miss my apartment. Lastly, I totally survived without my weekend routine. I have a packed lunch for the day (leftover from last week) I got the store this morning to stock up for the week and I feel more at peace and energized today than I have in too many Mondays to count.
.
All that to say: don't let your fears, routines or comfort zones stop you from experiencing everything life has to offer 💁🏾
