Prep Time:

15 minutes

Serves:

Ingredients

2 cups cubed sweet potato (no need to peel)
4 cups water
1/4 cup sesame seeds
1/4 cup cacao powder
3 tablespoons coconut nectar or honey or 2 tablespoons of xylitol or 5 drops of alcohol-free stevia
a nut milk bag

Fill a medium-sized saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Add sweet potato and cook, covered, for 8 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and add to your high powered blender with 4 cups water.
Blend for 1 minute, until completely pulverized.
Run mixture through a nut milk bag. Alternatively, if you’d like to keep the milk thick and smoothie-like, do not use the milk bag.
Pour the ‘milk’ back to the jug of your blender and add remaining ingredients. Blend until smooth, about 2 minutes.
Chill in the fridge overnight. Stir before serving.

To keep vegan: do not use honey
