Potato Wedges & Zesty Flaxseed Guacamole
If I had to take one food on a desert island, it would be sweet potato.
Time to redefine comfort foods with this wholesome version of two comfort food classics – potato fries and chips with guac!
Delicious and indulgent foods do not have to be unhealthy, and after trying this dish, you’ll keep coming back again and again. A little easy addition of anti-inflammatory flaxseed oil takes this dish from wholesome to packing a serious nutritional punch, without even knowing it.
Small changes make a big difference to health, and eating potato wedges dipped in zesty guac is certainly a healthy choice anyone can get behind.
Flaxseed oil is an incredibly powerful plant based omega-3 that I love to include in recipes, you can read more about it here.
