Morning Fall Smoothie

How do you like to start your morning? One of our favorite ways to get things moving is with a nutrient dense smoothie. With fall here, we created a creamy orange, turmeric, sweet potato smoothie. YUM.

Here us out, steamed sweet potatoes in fall smoothies are the move. It does take a little bit of prep beforehand, but it's worth it. Steam sweet potatoes, peel them, and mash them, and let them cool down in the fridge, so that when you want to whip up this smoothie you're ready to go.

We were recently introduced to Trop50 juice beverage and their initiative to reduce sugar, which we're totally behind. It’s all about Sugar Hacks – tips and tricks to reduce sugar without sacrificing taste. We love sweets, but we are definitely trying to make an effort to reduce sugar intake and be really mindful of what sugar we do actually ingest. But, we never want to sacrifice the taste of what we're eating! If you're an OJ lover, you'll be totally into the amazing Trop50, with 50% less sugar and calories. Squeezed from fresh oranges, it provides 100% of your vitamin C needs and has no artificial sweeteners.

Morning routines are definitely better when a delicious smoothie is involved. Make this #SugarHacks recipe and let us know what you think!
