Sweet Potato Pie Smoothie with Chai Spiced Granola

Posted by angeladawn1220 on

It’s Thanksgiving in a glass and I’m here for it! I was thinking about creative ways I could use up some sweet potatoes I had sitting in the pantry and I thought how awesome it would be to make a healthy, D to the LISH smoothie out of them! This idea was a HUGE home run! Even Carl loved these smoothies and the extra crunch of the chai spiced granola paired with this creamy, spiced smoothie is the PERFECT marriage. I am IN LOVE with making my own homemade granola because I can control what I put in it. This granola is loaded with goodness and uses organic maple syrup to compliment the warm, chai spices. If you’re in the mood for a yummy piece of sweet potato pie but don’t want to consume all of those calories, try this smoothie and you’ll be making it on repeat, I promise!
