Ingredients
- 1/2 cup cooked sweet potato , tightly packed
- 1 cup almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 2 to 3 Medjool dates , pitted
- 1/2 inch knob of fresh ginger (or 1/4 teaspoon dried ginger)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon hemp hearts (optional; for added protein)
- ice , as needed to thicken
Instructions
- In a blender, combine the sweet potato, milk, 2 dates, ginger, turmeric, cinnamon, and hemp hearts, if using. Blend until very smooth.
- Taste the mixture, then blend in another date if more sweetness is desired. Once smooth, add in a heaping cup of ice cubes and blend until they are totally broken down. You can add more ice if you'd like a thicker shake, but keep in mind that more ice will dilute the overall flavor.
- Serve chilled right away.
