Adventures in Eating: Cheap. Easy. and Healthy

Join me on my quest to dissect the world of eating, learn to make everything from scratch, find a more simple solution to everyday feeding, and to do it all as cheap as I possibly can. Keep in mind that I have no idea what I’m doing, and that I’m attempting to teach myself; mostly through trial and error, mixed with some internet research and advice from friends.

Sweet Potato Banana Smoothie!



Sweet Potato Banana Smoothie
 
1/2 cup frozen banana, sliced
1/2 cup frozen sweet potato, cooked and cubed
1/2 cup milk, or almond milk
1 tbsp greek yogurt, plain
1/4 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp nutmeg
dash of salt
water to dilute to consistency
*sweetener, optional
 
Add all ingredients to blender except water.
Blend until smooth.
It'll be pretty thick, like a milkshake, so next add water and blend again until desired consistency.

This recipe makes about 1 serving. That's the whole thing fitting perfectly into that glass!
 
*I absolutely love sweet potato and don't add any sweetener to mine. But sweeter is often more delicious, I just prefer to skip the extra calories here. If you add honey you may want to blend it with the milk before adding the frozen stuff. It always freezes in clumps when I try to add it all together--just sayin' :)
