Potato and Southwestern Steak Soup

Potatoes are more than just a tasty side dish!

Did you know a potato is a nutrient powerhouse? They pack a punch of potassium, fiber, vitamin C and vitamin B6.

Let’s break down some cool potato perks:

  1. They are allergy-friendly. Allergic reactions are super rare.
  2. They won’t break the bank. Two medium-sized ones will cost you less than a dollar.
  3. Potatoes are naturally gluten-free. Just keep an eye on other ingredients in your recipes to stay on the safe side.
  4. Potatoes are perfect for pre or post-workout snacking. Easy-to-digest carbs and potassium help your muscles shine.
  5. They might just be your gut’s best friend. They’ve got resistant starch that’s like a VIP for good bacteria in your gut, reducing inflammation and aiding digestion.
