Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsweetened non-dairy milk (an "unsweetened vanilla" variety is nice here!)
  • ¼ cup plain non-dairy yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon almond butter
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons cacao nibs
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ⅛ teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 Medjool date, pitted
  • 1 heaped cup frozen cooked sweet potato chunks (see note)
  • handful ice

Instructions

  • In an upright blender, combine the non-dairy milk, non-dairy yogurt, almond butter, vanilla, chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, cacao nibs, cinnamon, sea salt, pitted Medjool date, frozen sweet potato chunks, and ice.

Recipe Notes

  • For frozen sweet potato chunks: I peel and chop sweet potatoes and steam them until tender (about 10-15 minutes). Then I lay them out on a parchment-lined baking sheet and place them in the freezer until frozen. Then, I place the chunks in a bag/container to save space.
  • My favourite non-dairy yogurts are Yoggu! or Culina.
  • Fun ways to boost this smoothie: 1-2 teaspoons chia/flax seeds, 1 tablespoon wheat bran, or 1/4 cup rolled oats.
Rich and luscious, my chocolate sweet potato smoothie is perfect for breakfast! It’s made with chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, cinnamon, and more for a creamy and delicious vegan smoothie. It’s so satisfying even though it’s made with no banana
