Protein-Packed Sweet Potato Smoothie

Sweet Potato Smoothie recipe & content provided by Ryan Carter, @livevitae

This Sweet Potato Smoothie is a quick, quality fix for those that are short on time but need a hit of micro- and phytonutrients. I enjoy having this smoothie post training to replenish my glycogen stores, but it also makes an amazing milkshake alternative on hot summer days.

To make this Sweet Potato Smoothie quick and easy (and amp up its gut-friendly resistant starch), you’ll need to plan ahead. Prepare your sweet potato the night before or earlier in the day. Cook the sweet potato, allow it to cool, chop into slices or chunks, then transfer to a lined glass container and freeze for at least 1-2 hours. Cooking a large batch of sweet potatoes will save even more time if you make Sweet Potato Smoothies regularly.
