Quick, creamy, and satisfying sweet potato flavored smoothie with boosts of protein, fiber, and healthy fats

Add all ingredients to a blender and pulse until smooth and uniform (about one minute).
1 cup almond milk, 1 cup frozen cauliflower, 3 tablespoons sweet potato puree, 2 tablespoons almond butter, 1 serving protein powder, 1 tablespoon pumpkin seeds, 1 tablespoon flax meal, ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract, ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ⅛ teaspoon ground ginger, ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1 Medjool date, 1 pinch sea salt

Modifications

Use any kind of nut butter, including almond butter, peanut butter, and sunflower seed butter.

I switch up the seeds based on what I'm feeling at the moment and to suit my needs. Pumpkin, flax, chia, sunflower, etc., are all great options.

Use plant-based milk and vegan protein powder to make this recipe vegan-friendly.

If you don't have dates, try one to two teaspoons of honey, agave nectar, or maple syrup, or the equivalent amount of a zero-sugar alternative.

You can toss in a handful of spinach or kale with very minimal flavor impact, though the color will become greenish.

Storage

You can make this smoothie up to two days ahead of time and store it refrigerated in an airtight container.

This smoothie freezes well in souper cubes and can either be thawed in the refrigerator or blended with liquid to make it drinkable again.
