The morning after Thanksgiving, I woke up thinking about the sweet potatoes we enjoyed the day before. I decided to try a sweet potato smoothie by placing my left over candied sweet potatoes in my Vitamix with a cup of almond milk. It was so completely delicious!
I have since recreated the same smoothie without using Thanksgiving leftovers, so I can enjoy this treat year round. Because sweet potatoes are one of my favorite foods, I always have a few steamed ones in my fridge to use in recipes or to just eat for a snack. I was able to easily pull one out in the morning for my smoothie.
Candied Sweet Potato Smoothie

- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Combine all ingredients in a Vitamix or other blender. Blend for 30 seconds. Enjoy!
