Makes 1 shake:
Ingredients:
1 cup water (I specifically do NOT use milk – whether coconut, almond, dairy, etc. as a base because the fat content in these milks can slow nutrient absorption. After a tough workout is when your body needs nutrients as quickly as possible, which is why I stick to using water with only a splash of coconut milk. If you aren’t using this shake for workout recovery, adding part milk or all milk as the base instead of water will make it taste better!)
splash of coconut milk or other milk, optional
½ cup ice
1 small cooked sweet potato or ½ of a large one (or ¾ cup canned pumpkin like THIS)
2 tablespoons gelatin (I highly recommend THIS one)
1 tablespoon pure raw honey
½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon
pinch of ginger, nutmeg cloves
Instructions:
Blend in a blender until well mixed. Enjoy!
Consume within 30 minutes of a hard workout for best results.
