Health benefits of using Purple Sweet Potato
Purple sweet potato is loaded with potassium and fiber, and high in B6, vitamin C and antioxidants. Additionally, they have a low glycemic index. High dietary fiber provides the sensation of fullness and satiety, curbing urges to overeat. Purple sweet potato has anthocyanins and may also help with weight loss and body composition. Also helps in the prevention of Colon Cancer. When boiled purple sweet potato are low glycemic index (GI) food, because of the presence of anthocyanin, meaning they will not spike your blood sugar as much as high GI foods.
Since it is highly seasonal yes you can get purple sweet potato only during fall-winter months. So, grab them. I am going to make some bread, and a pie.
Coming to this Purple Sweet potato Strawberry Smoothie
You need 7 ingredients to make this smoothie
1) Purple sweet potato: I used baked purple sweet potato; you can use boiled sweet potato that will moister than the baked sweet potato. I like the caramelization of flavor that is why I used.
2) Strawberries: I used fresh strawberries if you want you can use frozen one too.
3) Lemon Juice: You can use lime too if you don’t have lemon in hand.

5) Spices: I have added sweet potato pie spices, such as ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg and ground ginger you can add all of them or at least just cinnamon.
6) Roasted Hemp seeds: I used it as topping, you can play with coconut, almonds as topping.
