10:38 am Smoothie

1 cup of California Farms evaporated milk a great option and tart flavor when out of other animal and plant based milks

5 tablespoons of cacao nibs provide a crunchy texture and earthy taste

1 frozen chopped banana for sweetness vitamin packed velvety mouth feel

1/2 cup of frozen black cherries for the anti-inflammatory deliciousness

2 tablespoons of tropical hibiscus collagen powder to aid in cushioning joints with floral notes and who doesn’t want that in a smoothie

1 scoop of Vega vanilla protein and greens because lets face it we need more greens

1/4 cup of flat pellegrino from the can from yesterday because minerals and I needed a little more fluidity and the can was open on the counter from yesterday’s Campari Crush

1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper optional but recommended as it’s that extra something and heart smart

Method

Add all ingredients to a blending machine. Blend until smooth. Pour in to bucket glass of choice. Spoon for consuming prevents brain freeze.

Glass: bucket glass of choice

Garnish: none

My All American Sweet Potatoes Protein Smoothie

All American Sweet Potato Pie Smoothie

Ingredients

1 cup of mixed yellow and white sweet potatoes

1/2 Tablespoon AllSpice

1/2 Tablespoon of ground ginger

1/2 Tablespoon of ground cinnamon

1 Tablespoon of Nutritional Yeast

2 Tablespoons of Raw Agave Nectar

6 Ounces of Evaporated Milk

1 Cup of Pecans

1/2 Tablespoon Cocoa Nibs

Pinch of Himalayan pink salt

Method

For the sweet potatoes

Cut two large sweet potatoes (one yellow and one orange) with the skin on. Roast in the oven until soft. Once cooked, remove from the oven and let them cool. They can cool in the pan. Peel the skin, cut into chunks, and place them into a zip-lock style storage bag or sealable freezer safe container. Freeze overnight.

In the Cuisinart To Go cylinder, add all ingredients in no particular order. Blend on high. Top with Thompson raisins and three marshmallows. I light the marshmallows with a butane torch for a campfire feel. Sprinkle pecans on top.

Pro tip: toast the pecans slightly

Bar Chef Notes: Pecans don’t provide as much protein (about half) as almond butter or peanut butter, but when combined with nutritional yeast… Substituting with other nut butters will alter the taste of the recipe. This smoothie is a warm, fun, filling, and delicious treat that can be enjoyed on the go as a meal replacement or for adding fat and calories to your diet. Regardless, with every sip, you’ll crave more. A spoon is recommended. I always like a spoon.
