Detox Sweet Potato Ramen

This week, I want to share with you all a yummy, detox ramen recipe with you all. I made this when my friend Alexandra came to visit last week. It’s healthy, easy, cheap, and warming. It’s the *perfect* light dinner, especially when it’s already dark and you want to cozy up by your (fake) fireplace. 🔥 And the answer is yes, I will pretty much add sweet potato into anything. It’s the perfect healthy starch for this light ramen recipe.
