Broccoli is a member of the cabbage family, and is closely related to cauliflower. Its cultivation originated in Italy. Broccolo, its Italian name, means “cabbage sprout.” Because of its different components, broccoli provides a range of tastes and textures, from soft and flowery (the floret) to fibrous and crunchy (the stem and stalk). Broccoli contains glucosinolates, phytochemicals which break down to compounds called indoles and isothiocyanates (such as sulphoraphane). Broccoli also contains the carotenoid, lutein. Broccoli is an excellent source of the vitamins K, C, and A, as well as folate and fiber. Broccoli is a very good source of phosphorus, potassium, magnesium and the vitamins B6 and E.

1 small sweet potato, pureed
1 cup peanut or almond butter
1/4 c cacoa powder
1/4 c cacao nibs
1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 325F. Get a small sweet potato and stab with a fork a few times. Wrap potato in a wet paper towel and microwave until cooked all the way through.
