Ingredients and Substitutions

Sweet potatoes are rich in beta carotene, fiber, and antioxidants. They add natural sweetness to this smoothie.

I like to add a little extra sweetness to this smoothie by including a couple of Medjool dates. You can substitute any other type of date you prefer, but I love Medjool dates because they have a particularly sweet, caramel-like flavor and a moist texture that blends up easily. You can reduce the amount to one date if you prefer to keep this smoothie a bit lower in sugar, but in that case the smoothie will only be subtly sweet.

Cocoa powder gives this smoothie its chocolaty flavor. You can use either natural cocoa powder or Dutch-process cocoa powder. Or you can substitute raw cacao powder if you prefer.

You can use any type of unsweetened milk you like in this smoothie. I went with almond milk this time, but I also like soy milk or oat milk.

How to Make a Chocolate Sweet Potato Smoothie

Start by removing the pits from the dates, then add them to a blender. Next you’ll add the sweet potato, cocoa powder, milk, and cold water to the blender.
