sweet potato smoothie


Sound odd? Wait till you try it before judging! A healthy alternative to an ice cream shake.
Sweet potatoes provide a satisfying sweetness but won’t spike your blood sugar like other types of potatoes. They’re also packed with nutrients, including vitamin A, vitamin C, potassium, iron, magnesium, and calcium. This version is satisfying, delicious, and provides an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory boost.

Ingredients


½ cup sweet potato, cooked and mashed (no skin)
½ large banana or 1 small banana (Try freezing your bananas in small chunks before adding to smoothies. It’s not necessary, but results in an icy cold, thick smoothie.)
1 medjool date, pitted
1 cup almond milk
¼ cup purified water
2-3 ice cubes
dash of cinnamon

Directions:
Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.
Pour into a glass and dust with additional cinnamon, if desired.

Enjoy!
