INGREDIENTS
1 medium Sweet Potato (~200g)
1 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt (~245g)
0.5 scoop Vanilla Protein Powder (~15g)
0.125 cup chopped Pecans (~15g)
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the sweet potato thoroughly, pierce it a few times with a fork, and place it on a baking sheet. Roast for about 45 minutes or until it is soft and tender.
Allow the sweet potato to cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, scoop out the flesh into a large bowl.
Add the nonfat Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and the protein powder to the sweet potato. Mash and mix until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency. If the mash is too thick, you can add a splash of water or unsweetened almond milk to reach the desired texture.
In a small skillet over medium heat, toast the chopped pecans for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and slightly golden. Stir frequently to avoid burning.
Gently fold the toasted pecans into the mash or sprinkle them on top as a crunchy garnish.
Serve warm, enjoying the blend of creamy textures and crispy pecans with a hint of spice and vanilla.
