After much meat and too many desserts I was craving something healthy with avocado. And that something healthy turned out to be this sweet potato chill with quinoa and black beans. In combination with fresh spinach and other greens, creamy avocado and light crème fresh it tastes so good and healthy. Perfect for after holidays overeating. 😉
