Ingredients

  • ¾ cup cooked mashed sweet potato, chilled see Notes; about 1 medium sweet potato, peel removed
  • ¾ cup unsweetened non-dairy milk such as almond, soy or oat milk
  • 1 tablespoon almond butter or other nut/seed butter
  • 1 erving vegan vanilla protein powder I like Orgain
  • 2 tablespoons rolled oats or sub half of a frozen banana
  • ¾ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground ginger, optional
  • 1 cup ice or more for consistency
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup, optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine all ingredients except the ice and maple syrup in a blender. Start on low and gradually increase to high speed. Blend until smooth.
  2. Taste and add the maple syrup and/or additional spices, if desired. Add the ice and blend until creamy. If it's too thick, add another splash of milk.
  3. Enjoy now or store your sweet potato smoothie in covered jar to enjoy later. Keep refrigerated.

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.
