Sweet Potato Smoothie

You’re going to fall in love with this fall-flavored smoothie that is thick, creamy, and filled with veggies. This sweet potato protein smoothie tastes like cinnamon sweet potato pie and makes a filling breakfast. 

This is one of my favorite fruit-free smoothies that is sweetened and thickened with roasted sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes in a smoothie? Yes! Sweet potatoes add sweetness without sugar, and when mixed with cinnamon, it makes the coziest smoothie I ever did drink. This smoothie sneaks in tons of veggies but tastes like dessert and makes a perfect breakfast, post-workout pick-me-up, or even just a sweet treat. This thick and creamy smoothie is packed with veggies, fiber, antioxidants, and tastes like sweet potato pie.

Ingredients

  

• 1 to 1 1/2 cups plant-based milk
• 1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder
• 1 scoop collagen peptides
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 3/4 cup frozen cooked sweet potatoes about 6-8 sweet potato ice cubes*
• 2/3 cup frozen riced cauliflower
• 2 tbsp almond butter drizzled on top for a smoothie bowl or mixed into the smoothie
• ice as needed
• your choice of toppings**

Instructions

 

Sweet Potato Smoothie

• Add ingredients to a high-speed blender in the order listed.
• Blend until smooth and creamy, adding ice or more liquid if needed.
•  Pour into a bowl or cup and enjoy with toppings of choice.
• I add chia seed jam and almond butter on top for a smoothie bowl, or you can enjoy in a cup with almond butter mixed into the smoothie.

HOW TO ROAST THE PERFECT SWEET POTATO

• Preheat the oven to 450°.
• Line a baking sheet or pan with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
• Slice a few lines in the sweet potatoes.
• Roast sweet potatoes in the oven for 45-60 minutes. You will be able to tell they are ready when they are soft and some of the natural sugars are seeping out onto the parchment paper. Sometimes it takes longer depending on how big the sweet potatoes are.
• Take the baking sheet out of the oven and let it cool. Once potatoes have cooled, you can easily peel off the skin and store them in a container in the fridge.
