You Seriously Need To Begin Adding Sweet Potato To Your Smoothies
By Andra Picincu
Sweet potatoes can take your smoothies to the next level, as one cup delivers 2 grams of protein, 26 grams of carbs, and doses of potassium, manganese, copper, and vitamin A.
These root vegetables can also add their vibrant color and signature flavor to smoothies, eliminating the need for added sugars.
If you prefer them raw, grate them for easier blending, then mix them with other fruits or veggies. This option works best if you have a busy schedule and need a quick smoothie.
However, cooking the potatoes will bring out their natural sweetness and yield a creamier texture. Once they are cooked and cut into chunks, blend them with your smoothie.
You can mix them with bananas, fresh or frozen pineapple, passion fruit purée, gold rum, and other delicious ingredients to make a tropical fruit smoothie.
If you're craving a savory smoothie, try blending the potatoes with garlic, yeast flakes, tomatoes, sunflower seeds, basil, sea salt, and pepper.
