6. Sweet Potatoes
There are more ways to eat sweet potatoes than baled in a casserole with artificially sweetened marshmallows. You can bake them into sweet potato fries, or serve them as a mash on the side with grilled fish or chicken. They’re packed with fiber to keep you fuller for longer, and also filled with vitamins C and A. If you cut them into chips, they also make some pretty mind-blowing nachos.
7. Figs
The ultimate add-on to any charcuterie board, figs both look and taste dazzling. They’re packed with fiber and have been known to lower bad cholesterol, while regulating blood sugar and potassium, both of which can improve blood pressure. If you find yourself with the urge to snack all day or suffer from frequent constipation, consider making a fig, goat cheese and walnut salad. Figs are also delectable on their own.
