This is comfort food at its healthiest, yummiest best in my opinion!

As most people know, mashed sweet potatoes are absolutely divine, and unlike normal potatoes, actually count as one of your five-a-day. Here we've bulked the mash out with chickpeas, which provide a huge protein and fibre punch.

The use of mixed seeds give us an extra efficient nutrient hit, and will increase feelings of long-lasting satiety.

Treat yourself to this quick, one pot meal for a bulky breakfast, portable lunch, or filling dinner.
