Ingredients

1/2 cup cooked sweet potato , tightly packed
1 cup almond milk (or milk of choice)
2 to 3 Medjool dates , pitted
1/2 inch knob of fresh ginger (or 1/4 teaspoon dried ginger)
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon hemp hearts (optional; for added protein)
ice , as needed to thicken

Instructions

In a blender, combine the sweet potato, milk, 2 dates, ginger, turmeric, cinnamon, and hemp hearts, if using. Blend until very smooth.
Taste the mixture, then blend in another date if more sweetness is desired. Once smooth, add in a heaping cup of ice cubes and blend until they are totally broken down. You can add more ice if you'd like a thicker shake, but keep in mind that more ice will dilute the overall flavor.
Serve chilled right away.
