Ingredients
Sweet Potato Base
- ½ cup cooked and mashed sweet potato, or canned sweet potato
Fruit and Dairy
- 1 medium banana, frozen
- 1 ½ cup milk of choice
- ½ cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
Flavorings and Add-ins
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1-2 tablespoons peanut butter, or almond butter
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon, or to taste
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients. Add the cooked and mashed sweet potato, frozen banana, milk, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, peanut or almond butter, and ground cinnamon into the blender. Ensure all ingredients are added to the container for a well-rounded flavor and texture.
- Blend Smooth. Secure the blender lid tightly and blend the mixture on high speed until very smooth and creamy, which takes approximately 20 to 40 seconds depending on your blender’s power. Check the consistency and blend longer if necessary for a silky smoothie.
- Serve Immediately. Pour the smoothie into glasses and enjoy right away to take advantage of its fresh flavors and creamy texture.
Notes
- You can substitute peanut butter with almond butter for a different nutty flavor or to accommodate allergies.
- If you prefer a thinner smoothie, add more milk to adjust the consistency to your liking.
- Use canned sweet potato for convenience, but ensure it is unsweetened and without added preservatives.
- For a vegan option, use plant-based yogurt and milk.
- Add a handful of spinach or kale for an added nutrient boost without changing the flavor significantly.
