Ube Gut Healing Smoothie

Thick, creamy, perfectly sweet smoothie with purple sweet potato, tangy lemon, fresh blueberries, and kefir for an incredible antioxidant loaded, gut healthy meal on the go

Ingredients: makes two prep bags / two large smoothies

• 1 small purple sweet potato (cooked, see instructions below)

• 1 large banana

• 1 cup of blueberries

• Juice from 1 lemon

• 2tbsp hemp seeds

• 1 cup of plain kefir

• 1 cup almond milk

• 1 cup coconut water

Meal Prep Instructions:

• Cook purple sweet potato: Add your washed (but not peeled) potato to a pot of boiling water and boil until a fork easily pokes through. Cool completely before using your hands or a fork to peel the skin off. It should slide off easily.

• Make your prep bags: to each reusable food storage bag - I love this Stasher Bag Bundle add:

  • 1/2 the cooked sweet potato

  • 1/2 a banana

  • 1/2 cup blueberries

  • juice from 1/2 lemon

  • 1tbsp hemp seed

• Freeze ingredients until ready to blend

Directions:

• Take bag out of freezer and add liquids

  • 1/2c kefir, 1/2 almond milk, 1/2 coconut water per bag letting the mixture sit for at least 10 minutes until slightly softened (for the smoothest texture)

• With a high powered blender, blend on high for about 1 minute until very well combined and smooth. Add additional liquid as necessary for desired consistency

• If making fresh vs frozen - be sure to add a handful of ice for a cold blended finish
