🥔 The Truth About Potatoes — They’re Not the Enemy!
Potatoes often get a bad rap when it comes to healthy eating — but they actually deserve a spot on your plate! 💪
Here’s why:
✅ Nutrient-Rich: Potatoes are packed with vitamin C, potassium (even more than a banana!), and B vitamins that support energy and muscle function.
✅ Great Source of Carbs: Your body needs carbohydrates for energy — especially if you’re training or staying active. Potatoes provide clean, complex carbs that fuel your workouts and daily activities.
✅ Naturally Gluten-Free & Versatile: You can bake, roast, mash, or air-fry them — the possibilities are endless!
✅ Fiber for Gut Health: Keep the skin on, and you’ll get a good dose of fiber to support digestion and fullness.
👉 The key? Preparation matters. Skip the deep fryer and load them up with real foods — like olive oil, herbs, and veggies — instead of butter and sour cream. Or my personal favorite thing to do is to use plain Greek yogurt in replacement of the sour cream to get that “creamy” taste PLUS added protein and good probiotics.
Potatoes aren’t the villain — they’re a powerhouse of nutrients that can fit perfectly into a balanced, healthy diet. 🌱
