5 Stars 4 Stars 3 Stars 2 Stars 1 Star No reviews

Description

Not only are sweet potatoes delicious, but they also have a lower glycemic index than regular potatoes—meaning they give you steady energy without spiking your blood sugar.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs (910 grams) sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 1 Tbsp coconut oil
  • ¼ to cup (60 ml-80 ml) of your favorite unsweetened nut milk
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp ground ginger
  • Pinch of nutmeg

Instructions

  1. Place the sweet potatoes in a large pot and add just enough cold water to cover them.
  2. Bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.
  3. Add the remaining ingredients, starting with ¼ cup of milk and adding more if needed. Mash until smooth and well combined. Serve immediately!
