Why sweet potato?  Well, why not?  Sweet potatoes are known for being one of mother nature's superfoods.  They are an excellent source of vitamins D, C, B6 as well as magnesium and potassium.  They have long been lauded for their anti-aging properties and can even help stabilize blood sugars which is why they make an especially great choice for your first meal of the day.
