Sweet Potato Apple Cinnamon Smoothie

Add to a blender:

1 small to medium size sweet potato, wash well and cut into small pieces (remove any bad pieces, do not cook)

2 medium to large apples (cored) also cut into small pieces

1/2 to 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats

or 1/2 to 1 cup rolled barley

1 tablespoon virgin organic coconut oil (optional)

½ cup powdered milk

1 scoop protein powder

1 - 2 tablespoons ceylon cinnamon

or 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice.

2 cups water

Blend well

Add stevia to taste (you may add another sugar substitute if you prefer) I usually add from 1/3 to 1/2 cup Stevia in the Raw. Different sources of stevia have different potency so be sure to try a little and taste to determine the amount. Same thing for other sugar substitutes.

Add ice for desired consistency and volume and to cool (add just a few pieces at a time blending and then adding more)

You can drink some and save and blend again and drink more later.
