Cooked sweet potato is an unlikely smoothie ingredient until you try it. It brings creaminess, a gentle natural sweetness, and more substance than the usual banana, and with ginger, turmeric and cinnamon behind it the result drinks like something between breakfast and a warm memory of one. We make it with almond milk, which keeps it plant-based, the way everything leaves our kitchen.
If cooking this way interests you beyond a recipe, the Cooking Retreat is four days of exactly this in practice.
The recipe below serves four.
