Sweet Potato Smoothie

Submitted by FLKeysJen

"My version of a recipe from Oxygen magazine. This tastes a lot like pumpkin pie! The cook time is the time to chill the potato."

 

• Ready In: 6hrs 5mins
• Ingredients: 4
• Yields: 1 large smoothie
• Serves: 1

ingredients

• 1 small sweet potato
• 1 1⁄2 cups skim milk or 1 1/2 cups unflavored light soymilk
• 1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder
• 1 dash pumpkin pie spice

directions

1. The night before you want to make the smoothie, cook the sweet potato. I find the easiest way to do one potato is wash it well, prick it with a fork and microwave for 8-10 minutes, flipping over once. Let cool and store in the refrigerator over night.
2. When ready to make your smoothie, pull off the potato peel.
3. Blend all ingredients together until the mixture is smooth.
4. Enjoy!

Delicious. It's winter time now, and I'm heating this up as a soup. So good.

MMMMM...that's about sums it up. This was such a treat Iooked forward to the whole time I was running this a.m....knowing this was going to be waiting for me. Wonderful, with just the right amount of spice added. I also threw in 3 icecubes even though my sweetpotato was cold. I did as you posted in your recipe about cooking the potato the night b/f. Saves lots of time if you want this in the a.m. after a good work-out or run. I'll definitely be keeping sweet-potatoes on hand for just this recipe. Thanks Jen~ Made for My3Chef's.!
