A Few Helpful Tips
- Start with Liquid. Any time you are blending a smoothie, it is best to place the liquid components into the blender FIRST, to ensure a creamy
- Use Leftover Baked Sweet Potatoes. You don't need homemade sweet potato puree to make this smoothie! Simply add the flesh of a leftover baked or Instant Pot Sweet Potatoes, right to the blender.
- Thicken and Sweeten with Bananas. Frozen banana chunks help to sweeten this smoothie and make it thick and luscious, without the need for refined sugars.
- Opt for Coconut Milk. Coconut milk adds richness to the smoothie and pairs exceptionally well with sweet potatoes, but you can use any non-dairy or dairy milk you like.
- Swap out Sweet Potatoes for Pumpkin. No sweet potatoes on hand? Use canned pumpkin their place.
- Add Texture. Top with granola, chia seeds, or a drizzle of almond butter for texture and added nutrients.
- Add Protein: Feel free to add a scoop of your favorite protein powder to bump up the protein.

This looks delicious, I’ve never even thought of using walnuts to top a smoothie. Off to try this out! Thank you
