Sweet Potato + White Bean Smoothie

This smoothie is a great way to get your fiber in! This delicious smoothie option has impressive soluble fiber. Feel free to make this a fat snack smoothie by adding in some nut butter or more hemp seeds. You can also make it hormone healing compliant by pulling out the orange juice and cinnamon. If trying to lose weight, less sweet potatoes or no sweet potato.

Ingredients:

1/3 cup baked sweet potato, skin removed (or left on for extra fiber) 

1/4n cup + 1 tbsp cooked white beans

1/2 cup almond milk (unsweetened)  

1/2 cup water

1 tsp fresh orange juice (optional) 

1/2-1 tsp orange zest (from about a third of an orange) 

1 tbsp hemp seeds (or chia seeds for more fiber) 

1/4 tsp turmeric (or 1/2 inch of fresh turmeric, peeled) 

1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional, leave out if avoiding)

1/2 tsp  nutmeg, freshly grated (or 1/4 tsp pre-ground) 

1/2 tsp vanilla powder (or extract) 

1/4 tsp cardamom, freshly ground if possible 

1/2 cup baby spinach (or other milk greens, optional)

add ice if you desire it cool for hot summer months.

How we do it.

Add all the ingredients to a high powered blender and blend on medium power for 1 minute.

Taste and add more spices as desired or more water if its too thick.

If you want your smoothie you can warm it up by running it on high for 1-2 minutes (or warm your sweet potato and the almond milk in a small pot before adding to the blender).

Enjoy!
