Vibrant, Grounding, and Rooted in Recovery
As May settles in, we’re leaning into something deeper than just seasonal eating—we’re leaning into restoration. The kind of nourishment that supports rebuilding, steady energy, and gentle strength.
This month’s Recipe Drop is inspired by The Fourth Trimester—a reminder that recovery is a phase worth honoring with intention, whether you’re navigating postpartum, supporting someone who is, or simply moving through a demanding season of life.
At the center of it all is a dish that feels both comforting and energizing: our Mexican Loaded Sweet Potato, available in two nourishing variations—grass-fed beef or cumin-spiced lentils. Built on our “food as medicine” philosophy, this is real, grounding food designed to support the body from the inside out.
🥔 Mexican Loaded Sweet Potato (Beef or Lentils)
Serves: 1
Character: A caramelized roasted sweet potato layered with warm spices, vibrant vegetables, and a bright jalapeño cilantro crema—balanced, hearty, and deeply nourishing.
🧾 Base Components (Both Versions)
1 Roasted Sweet Potato (soft, caramelized center)
2 oz Bell Pepper
2 oz Green Beans
1.5 oz Onion
1 oz Zucchini
1 oz Watermelon Radish
1 oz Pickled Red Onion
1 oz Fresh Cilantro
1 tbsp Cashew Parm
½ tsp Cumin
¼ tsp Smoked Paprika
½ tsp Garlic Powder
Salt + Black Pepper to taste
🥩 Protein Option 1: Grass-Fed Mexican Beef
4 oz Grass-fed ground beef, seasoned and sautéed with cumin, smoked paprika, and garlic
OR
🌱 Protein Option 2: Cumin-Spiced Lentils
4 oz Green lentils, simmered until tender and folded with warm spices
🫙 Jalapeño Cilantro Crema
A cooling, creamy drizzle that ties everything together with brightness and gentle heat.
Made with cashews, cilantro, jalapeño, lime juice, garlic, and a touch of apple cider vinegar for balance.
🔪 How It Comes Together
1. Roast the base:
Slow-roast the sweet potato until caramelized and tender—this becomes your naturally sweet, mineral-rich foundation.
2. Build the protein layer:
Season and cook either the spiced beef or lentils until warm, fragrant, and deeply savory.
3. Sauté the vegetables:
Lightly cook bell peppers, onions, green beans, and zucchini until just tender with a bit of bite—this keeps texture and freshness intact.
4. Blend the crema:
Whip the jalapeño cilantro crema until silky smooth and refrigerate to deepen flavor.
5. Assemble:
Load the sweet potato with protein first, then vegetables. Finish with pickled onion, watermelon radish, cilantro, and cashew parm. Serve crema on the side or drizzle generously on top.
