    Sweet potatoes are one of the most underrated foods IMO. And every time I buy them it's the same story: I get home, knowing I'll use them soon. Then I forget about them until they have sprouted in the back of my pantry, then I use them, love them, and swear I'll never let them go that long in my pantry again. Until next time.

    The solution? Bake (or boil) your sweet potatoes asap. Then you're forced to use them and remember just how tasty and versatile they are. Like in this gingerbread smoothie, which is perfect for using excess sweet potatoes!

    Exactly how you make any other smoothie. Put everything in the blender and push the button.

    Ingredient Substitutions

    • For a dairy-free variation, use our favorite dairy-free milk and yogurt.
    • I really love almond butter for this smoothie, but you can use any other nut butter you prefer. I think pecan butter would be delicious!
    • If you only have ground ginger powder, use ½ tsp.
