Smoothie Ingredients

  • ½ cup cooked sweet potato tightly packed
  • 1 cup milk of choice
  • 2 to 3 Medjool dates pitted
  • ½ inch fresh ginger or ¼ teaspoon dried ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon hemp hearts optional; for added protein
  • 1 heaping cup ice cubes or as needed to thicken
  • nutmeg Pinch, for topping

Instructions
 

Blending Instructions

  • In a blender, combine the sweet potato, milk, two dates, ginger, cinnamon, and hemp hearts, if using. Blend until very smooth.
  • Taste the mixture, then blend in another date if more sweetness is desired. Once smooth, add in a heaping cup of ice cubes and blend until they are totally broken down. You can add more ice if you'd like a thicker shake, but keep in mind that more ice will dilute the overall flavor.
  • Serve chilled right away, with a pinch of nutmeg on top, if desired.

Notes

Nutrition information is for the whole batch using soy milk. If you prefer to skip the dates, you can use maple syrup to taste. I've also made this smoothie with a frozen banana instead, and a splash of orange juice.
