Rather than dripping with cheese and butter, this superfood baked potato recipe from 'The Kitchn' blog is loaded with much healthier alternatives.
What turns the average baked potato into a superfood is the combination of powerful ingredients like kale, coconut oil, salmon, popped quinoa, flax seeds, pomegranate seeds, topped with a sauce that's been made with yogurt, turmeric and green tea. Although each of these ingredients has tons of health benefits on their own—a plain baked potato provides the daily requirements for Vitamin C and iron—the combination of all of them makes a super meal. In terms of prep time, making this superfood baked potato might take longer than average, but for the maintenance of good health, it's totally worth it.
