In season and just in time to get you thinking about signing up for my Green Smoothie Challenge, this green smoothie from The Food Relationship Coach is like a farmacy in a glass!
The sweet potato, a root vegetable often called a yam but not at all a yam, is a highly nutritious complex carbohydrate that provides a good source of iron, fiber, potassium, beta carotene, calcium, Vitamin C, magnesium, folate and phosporous. It also has a really pretty flower that I keep meaning to find out if it’s edible.
I try to eat one every day when they’re in season – mashed, baked, fried, or in a smoothie.
And then of course there’s all that good stuff from the kale, the almonds, and the cinnamon.
So head on over to check out the recipe, which has some great prep photos – a reminder of what is severely lacking over here.
We’ll be seeing this recipe during the challenge. I might be able to convince a few brave souls to serve it during their Thanksgiving celebrations. It will be a nice treat for the sugar conscious.
Salud!
