Equipment
- 1 Ramekin
- 1 Mixing bowl
Ingredients
- 127g g sweet potato, skinned, cooked, mashed (4.5 oz)
- 31 g chocolate protein powder (approx 1/3 cup)
- 16 g natural peanut butter (1 Tbsp)
- 1 Tbsp cocoa powder, unsweetened
- 1-2 packets zero calorie sweetener
- 2 Tbsp nonfat milk (or to desired thickness)
Instructions
- Skin a sweet potato, weigh out a 4.5 ounce portion (127g) and microwave for 3 to 4 minutes or until cooked through. Alternately, use leftover baked sweet potato or leftover mashed sweet potato. (Can also be made with sweet potato puree from the can).
- If peanut butter is too firm from refrigeration, microwave it about 20 seconds so it is soft and easily mixable
- In a small mixing bowl, add sweet potato, chocolate protein powder, peanut butter, cocoa powder, milk and packet of sweetener (optional).
- Mix all ingredients until completely combined. Use a hand held mixer (immersion blender) for the smoothest and creamiest consistency
- Mashing and mixing thoroughly with a fork or spoon will work, but it may leave small sweet potato chunks. If you want to manually mix with a spoon, consider using sweet potato puree instead of whole sweet potato, and add milk last one Tbsp at a time to reach desired consistency.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate to serve chilled later
