Sweet Potato Smoothie Recipe
Creamy sweet potato smoothie blended with dates, almond butter, and pumpkin pie spice. A thick, naturally sweetened breakfast that tastes like fall in a glass.
Servings: 1 serving
Cost: 1
Equipment
- blender
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup cooked mashed sweet potatoes
- 1 cup dairy free milk or regular milk if you don't need this to be vegan
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 2 large dates
- 1 tbsp hemp seeds
- 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tbsp almond butter
optional
- 1 tsp toasted coconut flakes
- 1 tbsp pomegranate seeds
- 1/2 cup ice
Instructions
- Combine the sweet potatoes, milk, vanilla, dates, hemp seeds, almond butter, and the pumpkin pie spice in a blender and blend until smooth. (Soak the dates in hot water for 5 minutes if you want them extra soft).
- At this point you can try the smoothie to check if the sweetness is good, if not add another date and blend again. Now you can either add about 1/2 cup of ice cubes to make the smoothie colder and a little bit thicker or you can omit this step. Keep in mind that the more ice you add the less strong the smoothie flavor will be.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
This is a pretty thick smoothie even with no ice cubes added. If you don't like it as thick, add in a little more milk!
