Ingredients
- 1.5 cup cooked sweet potato roasted and chilled, skin removed
- 1 frozen banana banana peeled and sliced before freezing
- 1.5 cups unsweetened almond milk or any plant-based milk
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt plain or vanilla for extra protein
- 1 tbsp almond butter adds creaminess and healthy fats
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon high quality for best aroma

Notes
For the best flavor, roast your sweet potatoes the night before to allow the natural sugars to caramelize. To make this vegan, substitute the Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt or a scoop of plant-based protein powder. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight jar for up to 24 hours, though the texture is best when fresh.
