Ingredients

½ cup sweet potato, cooked, tightly packed

1 cup almond milk, (or milk of choice)

3 medjool dates, pitted

½ inch knob of fresh ginger, (or ¼ tsp dried ginger)

¼ tsp ground turmeric

¼ tsp ground cinnamon

1 tbsp hemp hearts, (optional for added protein)

ice, as needed to thicken

Preparation

In a blender, combine the sweet potato, milk, 2 dates, ginger, turmeric, cinnamon, and hemp hearts, if using. Blend until very smooth.

Taste the mixture, then blend in another date if more sweetness is desired. Once smooth, add in a heaping cup of ice cubes and blend until they are totally broken down.

Serve chilled right away.
