Notes
- Tip for Cooking Sweet Potatoes: You can use baked, steamed or roasted sweet potato for the smoothie. My favorite method is the Instant Pot because it's so quick!
- To do it, wash the sweet potatoes and prick the skins several times with a fork. Add 1-1.5 cups water to the bottom of your IP (6 or 8 Qt model), and place 4-5 sweet potatoes on the trivet. Cook at high pressure according to their size:
- Let cool, and store cooked sweet potatoes in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Variation: If you'd like to add fruit to your smoothie, fresh orange and frozen banana or pineapple all taste great with sweet potato.
- Store leftover smoothie in a covered jar in the refrigerator and enjoy within 36 hours.
- 13 min. for small sweet potatoes, about 7 oz.
- 16 min. for medium, 8-11 oz.
- 20 minutes - large, 12+ oz.
