To be completely honest, I really hate meal prepping. I dread the days when I have to pack a lunch bag filled with tupperware and eat with a plastic fork. However, these little fritters make that tupperware life a whole lot better. The sweet potato in this recipe packs a lot of vitamin C and the quinoa adds protein, so these will keep your stomach satisfied for hours! They are perfect on top of a salad, or for breakfast with a runny egg. And another bonus, they are SUPER easy to make. Give them a try and include them in your next Sunday meal prep routine.

Further Food Commentary:

I love that Samantha threw some greens into this recipe. Kale and spinach are surprisingly versatile and can be added to many dishes to boost the health benefits without altering the flavor profile. In addition, these fritters are surprisingly low in sugar and fat, making them a great alternative to store-bought or even another homemade recipe.
