6 oz Greek yogurt plain nonfat
1 scoop Vanilla whey protein powder low carb

3 steps
- Place sweet potato in a microwave-safe plastic container, add a little water, and cover loosely. Microwave for 4-5 minutes or until sweet potato is fork-tender. Place sweet potato in the freezer to cool for about 5 minutes. The cooked potato does not need to freeze; it simply needs to cool down a little bit.
- Add the sweet potato, frozen banana, milk, yogurt, vanilla whey protein powder, peanut butter, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ice to the blender. Blend on high until smooth, occasionally stopping to scrape down the sides with a spatula if needed.
- This recipe makes about 4 cups (32 fl oz). One serving is 2 cups. Enjoy immediately and store leftovers in the refrigerator.
Tips:
This recipe works well with leftover cooked sweet potato.
If you prefer to start with raw sweet potato, peel the potato first, cut into small pieces, and then follow the directions in Step 1 to cook it.
