  • Chopped candied ginger
Instructions
  1. Split the sweet potato open down its middle using a paring knife. Scoop out the sweet potato flesh into a medium mixing bowl and mash well with a fork. Add the collagen peptides, cinnamon, ginger, then use a flexible silicone spatula to mix it all together. Season to taste with salt. If things are a little dry, add a bit of water at a time to loosen it up, mixing to combine.
  2. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the tahini, maple syrup, and a generous pinch of salt. Whisk in enough water to make it a drizzleable texture, something that's slightly thicker than salad dressing.
  3. Divide the mashed sweet potato between 4 bowls (or mason jars), then top each with 1/4 of the maple-tahini sauce, and your toppings of choice. Pictured is some skyr, chia seeds, banana, and pepitas.
Notes
To make vegetarian-friendly, either omit the collagen peptides, or add unflavored whey protein powder to taste. I've yet to test this out, but I can't imagine it not working. If I do test it out, I'll update here with the amount used.

The quality of tahini varies widely; my favorite brands are Soom and Seed + Mill.

This is a great make-ahead breakfast. To meal prep it, layer the mashed sweet potato, skyr, and maple-tahini sauce in 4 lidded working glasses or wide-mouth mason jars, parfait-style. I prefer the former, as they're a little bit smaller and leave less empty space, but mason jars work great too. Then, before eating, add any other toppings like chia seeds, nuts, candied ginger, or banana.
