As I was roasting sweet potatoes for dinner last night, I realized there was no more room left on the baking sheet for my final sweet potato! I’ve thought about trying a sweet potato smoothie for awhile now and thought this is the perfect occasion! I already had a peeled a cubed sweet potato, so I steamed it and then let it cool. I threw that in the freezer along with a small banana in preparation for a smoothie in the morning. Let me tell you, this is an IDEAL way to start the morning! This smoothie is creamy, filling, and tastes just like fall! There is loads of protein, healthy fats, and fiber to keep you feeling satisfied all morning too :)
Ingredients:
1 small sweet potato, steamed, cooled, and frozen
1 small banana, frozen
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
3/4 cup almond milk
1 tbsp ground flax seed
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Pinch of all spice
Directions:
Add all ingredients and blend until smooth. If necessary, add more almond milk. If you’re looking for more spice, add it in!
OPTIONS: Add in peanut butter or almond butter or a pitted date for a little extra sweetness!
