Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 3 tbsp hemp seeds
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 2 tbsp almond butter
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Toppings
- 2 cups blueberries
- 4 tbsp pumpkin seeds
- 4 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare sweet potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly and prick them all over with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking. Place them on a baking tray.
- Bake the sweet potatoes: Bake the sweet potatoes for 50-60 minutes, or until they are soft enough to be pierced easily with a fork.
- Cool and peel: Once baked, allow the sweet potatoes to cool enough to handle. Remove the skins carefully to keep the flesh intact.
- Mix ingredients: Place the peeled sweet potato flesh into a mixing bowl. Add hemp seeds, almond milk, almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and cinnamon to the bowl.
- Beat until fluffy: Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture until it reaches a fluffy and creamy texture, ensuring all ingredients are well combined.
- Assemble the bowls: Divide the sweet potato mixture evenly into 4 bowls. Top each bowl with fresh blueberries, pumpkin seeds, and a dollop of plain Greek yogurt for added texture and flavor.
Notes
- You can substitute almond milk with any other plant-based milk or dairy milk if preferred.
- For a vegan version, replace Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt or omit the yogurt topping.
- Sweet potatoes can be baked in advance and refrigerated to save time in the morning.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup according to taste.
- The hemp and pumpkin seeds add a great source of healthy fats and protein, making this bowl quite filling and balanced.
