Always a good idea: Vegan Sweet Potato Curry

A curry is always a good idea for me. It’s on the table in a nutshell and it’s always an easy way to eat easy and healthy. The sweet potatoes in this vegan sweet potato curry contains a lot of fiber. This fibers keep your blood sugar level and weight up and they are also super beneficial for your intestines.

Sweet potatoes also contain a lot of vitamins A, C and E, which is very beneficial for your immune system. Perfect for the winter months when we need this vitamin boost all too bad.

You can add all kinds of vegetables in a curry, so you can prepare something tasty for every season. For example, I like to eat a red or yellow curry in the winter, but I like to eat a green curry in the summer. Whenever I feel more like a more full-bodied meal, I always add some naan bread, rice or quinoa to this vegan sweet potato curry.

Tip: make the vegan sweet potato curry the day before. A curry that has been standing for a day is often the best 😉
