Notes

The form of sweetpotato you use here is flexible. You can use mashed boiled sweetpotatoes, the flesh of a baked sweetpotato, or the flesh of a microwaved sweetpotato. Because this recipe is blended, it doesn’t have to be a perfectly smooth puree going in as it’ll get evenly distributed in the blender. The only thing to make sure is that you’re not including the skin (it doesn’t break down as well in the drink).
