Sweet Potato Pie Smoothie

sweet potato pie smoothie 6

 

Greg and I went out over the weekend. I don’t grab the salt when my food comes to the table, but I am a habitual pepperer! I know that word is not in the dictionary; that’s an Amye word. I have even been known to pepper a few fruits. It’s just good stuff!

It was a little later than usual. I’m not sure if you can relate, but we have hit that time of year when we can’t leave the house to go anywhere in the evening before 7:30ish. That time of year is called deer season.

When our food arrived, I did not look very closely at the salt and pepper shakers. I grabbed the darker one that was obviously not salt. I “peppered’ my grilled veggies, shrimp, and fish. I knew my mistake at first bite! I had used the cinnamon for sweet potatoes! What a combination! I love cinnamon. But unlike black pepper, it merely does not work well on some foods. If you want to know what I did, I sat there and politely ate my food.

Here is a fall breakfast that cinnamon would be terrific in! I love sweet potatoes any way you fix them. I enjoy them baked with butter, and a little cinnamon, in a casserole, au gratin, or in a pie or cobbler, and in this fabulous smoothie! Such a delicious way to start the day and get a good dose of nutrients too!

You can bake sweet potatoes ahead of time. Keep the skin on and store in an airtight container, refrigerated. That makes it easy to make this smoothie in the mornings.

Hi, I'm Amye. I started Not Just Sunday Dinner in 2011 after moving back to Georgia. I grew up in North Georgia and have lived in different parts of Georgia most of my life. After living in Florida for five years we moved back to Georgia in the summer of 2009. I've always loved Georgia, but now Florida holds a special place in my heart as well. I have been married for 26 years to a wonderful man, Greg. We have two children, Wes, 21 years old and a third year college student, and Savannah, 18 years old and a freshman in college. Greg and I have started "dating" again. Since the kids only want to see us when they need money
