This burrito is delicious and super simple to make. I’ve spent a lot of time traveling Central and South America, exploring their cultures as I host yoga + surf retreats. I am a foodie. I love trying new foods in different places and then adapting those recipes to fit my lifestyle and preferences when I come home.
While I LOVE bean burritos, sometimes beans cause inflammation in my gut so while we are going through this Spring season where our bodies are naturally detoxing in our liver and kidneys especially (See Ayurveda Nutrition), I decided to create this masterpiece with some alternatives.
This burrito contains sweet potatoes and kale, which can benefit your gut health and may support healthy vision, immune system, and brain functioning (Plus way more! I encourage you to read up on these superfoods in your spare time! They are INCREDIBLE!)
Sweet potatoes are naturally rich in:
- Vitamin A

- Maganese
- Potassium

- Copper
While kale is naturally rich in:
- Vitamin C
- Vitamin B6
- Manganese
- Vitamin A
- Vitamin K
- Potassium
- Copper
I always feel better knowing that I am feeding my body temple with great foods, made by my loving hands, with food I could growing right in my back yard and not harm a single being doing it.
