Here are the Nutritional Highlights for this recipe:

COCOYO Living Coconut Yogurt: is vegan, gluten free & Non-GMO. It’s a great substitute for dairy or anything that may contain nuts. Each jar contains probiotics to help support healthy digestion.

Oat Milk: besides being plant based, it’s a great substitute for your nut milk… especially for those who are allergic to nuts and/or seeds.

Sweet Potato: is high in potassium & contains tons of beta carotene, which helps to maintain healthy skin & eyes, as well as our immune system.

Hemp Seeds: are a complete source of protein, and contain substantial amounts of omega-3 fatty acids, which are really important for Eczema.
