Your post-workout meal is one of the most important meals of the day. Why? Because this meal is all about recovery, refueling and re-feeding so that your muscles grow and your performance improves.

So, here’s a new, delicious way to incorporate one of my favorite muscle-building carbohydrates, the sweet potato. These brownies have the perfect combo of complex and simple carbohydrates to help give your body what it needs to get to the next level.

Let’s get started. First, we’ll make sweet potato purée. Preheat the oven to 415F and then place two large sweet potatoes wrapped in foil. Bake for an hour or until they’re soft. When they’re finished, allow them to cool.

Now, set the oven at 350F. Then shred one zucchini. In a bowl, mix sweet potatoes with other healthy ingredients. Toss in zucchini, 2 whole eggs and 3 egg whites, baking powder, cocoa powder and raw organic powder. Cocoa powder will add a rich, chocolate flavor. Mix everything together with a mixer to get a unified mass.

Divide the dough evenly among the individual muffin pan and bake in the oven for 30 minutes. Remove the brownies from the oven when they’re baked and allow them to cool down.

They’re even more delicious once they are completely cooled. You’ll taste a full, rich flavor. You can keep them in the fridge and they will stay fresh for up to 1 week.

Serve on a plate and enjoy your favorite post-workout meal, sweet potatoes brownies. Boom!
