Being in the fitness industry I often have people asking me about quick and easy healthy recipes.

I am not really one to follow a recipe exactly or even use a recipe at all despite the large volume of recipe books I promise my husband I will use one day, which I why I can’t possibly get rid of them 🙂

The other day I was thinking of my love for sweet potatoes – yes I spend a great deal of time thinking about food.

For a little person I am always grazing (like a cow someone once said – yes thanks for that) but true none the less.

So back to food….

I made sweet potato patties the other day and I got to be honest- they kind of rocked my world!

So I peeled (obviously, the peel on them would be silly) and chopped up about 3 large sweet potatoes, which I then boiled until soft.

I chopped up some onion which in hindsight I should have cooked a little first, rather than just throwing it into the mix.

Then I threw it all in a blender.

I added a tin of chickpeas and a few tablespoons of flour.

I added some cumin and coriander powder (I couldn’t tell you how much – whatever you think or add spices that appeal to you)

I also added a few fresh herbs from my garden coz I love fresh herbs.

I mushed it all up – well the blender did all the work while I stood by and watched.

Then I made them into little patties, I chucked them in the oven or you could fry them and wallah a it’s great lunch or dinner snack with salad.

You will know when they are cooked as they go brown but not too brown.

Please let me know your thoughts or any other variations of this or any other quick and easy heathy recipes you would like to share.

Everything is better when it’s shared with love.

Ps – quick sweet potato other delightful treat:
Chop up sweet potatoes thinly,
pre-cook in microwave for about 4 minutes then cook in fry pan add a little fresh ginger, garlic, and soy sauce and have as a snack.

It too will rock your world and have your taste buds singing with joy.
