Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium Sweet potato (roasted and peeled)
- 1 medium Banana (frozen)
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 4 pieces Ice cubes
Instructions
Start by roasting a medium sweet potato if not already prepped. Cut it in half, roast at 400°F (200°C) for 40-45 minutes until tender, and let it cool completely before peeling.
Add the roasted and peeled sweet potato to a blender.
Next, add the frozen banana, almond milk, and Greek yogurt to the blender.
Sweeten the smoothie by drizzling in maple syrup (optional, depending on your taste).
Add vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg for warmth and depth of flavor.
Toss in the ice cubes to create a thick, chilled texture.
Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides of the blender as needed.
Taste and adjust sweetness or spice if desired.
Pour the smoothie into two glasses, garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon if preferred, and serve immediately.
