Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup purple sweet potato, cooked and cooled
- 1/2 cup cauliflower florets, steamed
- 1 banana, frozen
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Ice cubes (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your ingredients. If you haven't done so already, cook the purple sweet potato until it's tender. Allow it to cool completely before using. You can steam the cauliflower florets until they are tender, about 3-5 minutes, and then let them cool as well.
- Once your purple sweet potato and cauliflower are cooled, peel the sweet potato and cut it into smaller chunks for easier blending.
- In a blender, combine the cooked purple sweet potato, steamed cauliflower florets, frozen banana, almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Ensure that the banana is fully frozen to give the smoothie a creamy texture.
- If you prefer a colder and thicker smoothie, add a handful of ice cubes to the blender.
- Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy. You may need to stop the blender and scrape down the sides to ensure everything is well combined.
- Taste the smoothie and adjust the sweetness if necessary by adding more maple syrup, according to your preference.
- Once blended to your desired consistency, pour the smoothie into two glasses.
- Garnish your smoothies with a sprinkle of cinnamon or some additional banana slices on top if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your nutritious Purple Sweet Potato Smoothie Cauliflower!
Tips
- • For the smoothest texture, ensure your sweet potato and cauliflower are completely cooled before blending • Use a frozen banana to create a thick, creamy consistency without diluting the flavor • If your blender struggles, chop ingredients into smaller pieces or add liquid gradually • For an extra nutrition boost, consider adding a scoop of plant-based protein powder • To make the smoothie even more Instagram-worthy, garnish with chia seeds, coconut flakes, or a sprinkle of cinnamon • If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, adjust maple syrup to taste • Use a high-powered blender for the most velvety smooth result
