SWEET POTATO SMOOTHIE
Essential Best Foods Cookbook by Dana Jacobi A great midafternoon pickup, this drink tastes like sweet potato pie a la mode. When baking sweet potatoes, I usually make an extra one so I can enjoy this smoothie the next day. Makes 1 serving
Ingredients • 1/2 cup reduced-fat (2%) milk • 1/2 cup baked sweet potato, about 1 medium • 1/4 cup reduced-fat vanilla frozen yogurt • 1 tablespoon maple syrup • 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Directions In a blender, combine the milk, sweet potato, frozen yogurt, maple syrup, and spice. Blend until smooth and foamy. Serve immediately.
Another Way: If pumpkin pie spice is not available, use 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon plus pinches of ground allspice, ginger, and nutmeg.
