Sweet Potatoes in the Slow Cooker

Recently I hired a new trainer, who is wonderful and has tons of helpful ideas. One of the services my trainer offers is to come to my house and help me learn to cook in a more healthy way.  I thought I already knew most things about healthy cooking, but oh no I did not.

First, we washed about 8 sweet potatoes and put them in a slow cooker.  Easy enough! Those were done in a few hours and I let them cool in the fridge overnight so I could chop them up the next morning and divide them into 1/4 cup servings to go in the freezer for later use.  I think I was supposed to remove the skins, but I left them on.  I know, I'm such a rebel. They are great to throw in when I need a good complex carb source in a smoothie or with another protein and veggie like some hard-boiled eggs and cucumbers, for example. I have also browned the chopped sweet potatoes with onions and bell peppers in some coconut oil for a breakfast side dish.
