Recipe: Avobar’s Moroccan Superfood Bowl

This filling, Middle Eastern-inspired superfood bowl recipe – adapted from Avobar’s popular plant-based dish – is packed with antioxidants. Sweet potato, the main ingredient, can boost immunity due to its high level of beta-carotene (which is converted to vitamin A once consumed) as well as B vitamins, fibre & vitamin C.
