Sweet Po-ta-ta Swirly Shake-a

A very simple kid-friendly shake with a dose of all the extra goodness you get from Sweet Potatoes!

(Be sure to plan ahead a little bit....the Sweet Potato needs to be baked and fully cooled before you add it to your ice cream!)

Makes 2 shakes.

You need your blender!

1 (medium-size) fresh Sweet Potato
2 cups vanilla ice cream
3/4 cup 2% or whole milk
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon sugar and cinnamon sprinkles: (combine 2 teaspoons sugar to 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon and mix well, save the extra for your cinnamon toast tomorrow morning :)

Poke the Sweet Potato with a fork a few times and microwave until fully cooked and very soft. Let it cool completely. Scoop the insides from the sweet potato, (you want about 1 cup) and place it in your blender. Add the ice cream, milk, vanilla and ground cinnamon. Blend until creamy. Pour into glasses and sprinkle about 1/2 teaspoon of the sugar and cinnamon mixture on top of each shake. Swirl the mixture with a straw or spoon to make a swirly design. Slurp!
