Sloppy Joe Potatoes

Sloppy Joe's are a family favorite in my home and they’re made healthier with this simple sauce served over a baked potato.

Full of nutrients, energy, and fiber - a baked potato can take the place of a bun and keep you fuller for longer than the fluffy, white bread will. Win-win!

Making simple swaps towards replacing these processed foods with whole foods like vegetables will bring you to a stronger, leaner body that you can feel confident in. Simple swaps is the name of the game!
