I do like the novelty of ‘secret’ ingredients. So I won’t give it away just at this point. I will say this one falls into the superfood category, so you know it’ll be healthy and good for you, but to say any more will give it away.
It’s another recipe from Amanda at RunningWithSpoons, so you know it’ll be good.
Having spent many years obsessed with counting calories, Amanda no longer does …
Instead, I’d rather focus on the fact that it’s made with wholesome ingredients. That it’s refined sugar-free and sweetened with the natural sugars from dates and bananas … That it’s delicious, filling, and soooo silky, smooth, and creamy that the fact that I didn’t stick a straw in it makes it look more like a jar of nut butter than a smoothie …

Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup Sweet Potato*, cooked
- 1/2 ripe Banana, frozen
- 2 Medjool Dates
- 1 Tbsp. Cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla Almond Milk, or your milk of choice
- 1 Tbsp. Almond Butter (optional, but recommended)

* You can use either cooked and cooled sweet potato that you roasted yourself or buy canned puree from the store. It equals about 1 small sweet potato or half of a larger one. The amount doesn’t have to be exact.
