BREAKFAST
2 large orange sweet potatoes, preferably garnet or jewel
– 2 tbsp olive oil @bonodisiciliausaTrying this for the first time, I used coconut milk (1/4 cup diluted with 1/4 cup water, 1 tsp chia seeds, and 1/8 tsp liquid monk fruit.
I just made this for the second time and tried 2 tsp chia seeds. Really good!
To make coconut milk from coconut cream:
Blender Method: Combine 1 can (approx. 5.4 oz) of coconut cream with 2 cups of water in a blender and mix until smooth.
Blend 1 part coconut cream with 2 to 4 parts warm water until smooth. A common ratio is 1/2 cup of cream to 1 cup of water for a standard consistency. Blend for better incorporation, then optionally strain for a smoother texture.
Homemade coconut milk will last 3-5 days in the fridge.
This can be frozen for up to 1 month, if frozen right away! Defrost fully prior to use.
