Prep Time5 minutes
Total Time5 minutes
Servings: 2 servings

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup sweet potato puree or flesh from 1 small baked sweet potato
  • 1 cup canned coconut milk
  • 2 teaspoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 medium banana frozen and chopped into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon walnuts chopped, optional

Instructions

  • Pour the canned coconut milk into the blender.
  • Add the sweet potato puree (or scooped baked sweet potato flesh), frozen banana, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ground ginger to the blender.
  • Blend on high until completely smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides if needed.
  • Pour into glasses, top with chopped walnuts and additional maple syrup if desired, and serve immediately.

Equipment

  • Blender

Notes

  • Use any non-dairy or dairy milk instead of coconut milk if preferred.
  • The banana provides sweetness and creaminess; add more maple syrup to increase sweetness.
  • To make a pumpkin version, substitute canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling) for the sweet potato puree.
