I’m sharing another smoothie bowl recipe that I made few days ago since I started wearing my dental appliance. I literally went on soft diet since day one of wearing it as it made chewing really difficulty for me. This is the point where I thought it was perfect to create and try new flavours for my smoothies!

This time, I wanted to make something vibrant as well as to include a flavour that I’m very familiar with. This one is a combination of blueberry and purple sweet potato.

Why purple sweet potato?

Purple sweet potato (commonly mistaken as purple yam) is also known as Okinawan potatoes has lost of health benefits that includes:

  • Excellent source of vitamin A, B and C.
  • High fiber content
  • Calcium and potassium – works to relieve inflammation of the stomach.
  • Packed with anthocyanins – which have anti-inflammatory properties.

Purple sweet potato is also a big part of my childhood. We call it kamote (in Tagalog language). It is something that we usually get for snacks. My mom usually boil it. If we are lucky enough, she fry it and covered it with caramelized brown sugar!

On the other hand, blueberry is known to be a superfood that is packed with antioxidants and phytoflavinoids. These berries are also high in potassium and vitamin C, making them the top choice of doctors and nutritionists. Not only can they lower your risk of heart disease and cancer, they are also anti-inflammatory.

I thought, this is a great combination! Don’t you? So, let’s get into work and get that purple deliciousness be done!

The Recipe:

This recipe is more like a nice-cream consistency which is my favourite! You can also cook the sweet potato ahead of time, slice them and freeze them up. I like to cook mine ahead in a big batch and just freeze them and take them out whenever I need it. Make sure to store it in an airtight container or freezer bag. You can play around with whatever toppings you want and double the recipe if you are going to serve it with friends or family.
