Sweet Potato Tahini Smoothie
Happy Sunday!
Did you remember to change your clocks? Don’t worry, we forgot too. Thank god for iPhones!
Since we lost an hour of sleep I knew a hearty breakfast was in order. Thankfully, this sweet potato, date & tahini smoothie is putting a spring into our steps. Speaking of spring, we’re officially two weeks away from the first official day! Where is the time going? We’re already feeling behind with farm chores. Ugh.
Anyhow, I want to enjoy the last of the winter bounty before we welcome fresh greens with open arms. I hope you all enjoy this tasty number as much as we do. Grab a straw!

I absolutely love this recipe, I’ve only heard of using a sweet potato in a smoothie recently, haven’t tried it yet – I’m looking forward to it!
