Hidden Veggie Chocolate Smoothie

Main Ingredients

1/2 cup sweet potato, cut into chunks (about 1/2 a sweet potato)*

1/2 cup cauliflower florets*

1 cup unsweetened almond milk

1/2 cup water

1 scoop chocolate or vanilla protein powder

1 handful spinach

1/4 of an avocado

3 tablespoons raw cacao powder

2 tablespoons almond or cashew butter

3 pitted dates

Preparation

1Several hours prior to making the smoothie, lightly steam the sweet potatoes and cauliflower, then drain well and spread out on a small sheet pan and put in the freezer until frozen. You can prepare extra like I do and keep the excess in gallon-sized freezer bags for the next several times you want to make this smoothie.

2Add all ingredients to a high powered blender or food processor starting with the liquids.

3Blend until smooth and enjoy!

4Makes enough for one big smoothie or two smaller smoothies.

Additional Notes

*To make things even easier, I buy bags of frozen cubed sweet potatoes and frozen cauliflower florets to steam and refreeze. Cooking these vegetables before putting them in your smoothie is better for health and digestion.
