Here's What Happens To Your Body If You Eat Sweet Potatoes Every Day

If sweet potatoes are your favorite food group, it's easy to see why. This root vegetable is rich in fiber, vitamins and minerals, and lends itself to so many different recipes, from power bowls and healthified sweet potato fries to sweet potato toasts for breakfast. They also make for a filling lunch or snack on their own, simply roasted and topped with your choice of mix-ins.

More reasons we love them? Sweet potatoes will stay nice and fresh on your countertop or in a dark place until you're ready to use them, and they're a super cheap ingredient that can be tossed into casseroles, soups and stews to be frozen or consumed later on. It's the ultimate meal prep pantry item—and a delicious one at that.
