SMOOTHIE:
- 1 cup sweet potato puree (See Notes!)
- 1 medium banana, frozen
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¾ cup Almond milk (You can use your fave plant-based milk!)
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup (See Notes!)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup dairy-free yogurt
- 1 tablespoon almond butter (See Notes!)
TO MAKE THE SMOOTHIE:
Add all ingredients to a high-powered blender (adding the frozen bananas and sweet potato first, then the rest following) and blend until smooth.
Adjust the amount of milk (or add ice), depending on desired consistency, adding 1 tablespoon more at a time, if needed.
To serve—grab a glass and pour smoothie into each, top with almond butter or granola, and grab a straw.
Sip and enjoy!
- STORAGE: Store any leftovers in the refrigerator, tightly sealed or in a covered mason jar, ensuring that you drink it within the same day for best taste and consistency.
- SWEET POTATO: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Thoroughly rinse the outside of your medium size sweet potato off with warm water and then pat dry. Lightly poke each potato with a few small holes (to ensure that the inside cooks more quickly + evenly) and coat them fully with extra virgin olive oil or grapeseed oil. Bake on a foil paper lined baking sheet for 25-30 minutes, until tender when pressed gently. Once done, cut open potato, scoop out insides and mash well to create the "puree".
- SWEETENER: Instead of maple syrup, you can use Agave as a substitute.
- NUT BUTTER: Instead of using almond butter, you can also substitute with Peanut Butter, Sunflower Seed Butter, Tahini, Soynut Butter, Pecan Butter, Hazelnut Butter, or Granola Butter.
