Sweet Potato Smoothie!

Sweet potato smoothie… it’s really a “thing”!

We were mind-blown when we were introduced to the mighty sweet potato toast… so I literally have no words to describe our reaction when we had the pleasure of meeting the scrumptious Sweet Potato Smoothie.

… pretty much 🙂

Ok, so get this… sweet potatoes are not only mmmm mmmm good… they are an excellent source of vitamin A and C, both vital for supporting immune function and protect cells against aging and disease. Plus, vitamin A is key for maintaining healthy vision and organ function.

But wait, there’s more! Sweet potatoes are also packed with energy-supporting B vitamins and minerals, including potassium. Is potassium important? Um… yes. It flushes excess sodium and fluid out of your body, which lowers blood pressure and reduces strain on your heart. Potassium also helps regulate heart rhythm and muscle contractions.

Who would’ve thought that by enjoying this mouthwatering treat, we were supporting and protecting our bodies! Well, you’re smart and healthy so probably did… but I know I don’t think about stuff like this.

Anyway… let’s get creative!

Instructions

  • Place potatoes in steamer basket over 2 inches of simmering water and cover to steam for 5-10 minutes - until fork tender. When finished, let potatoes cool slightly.
