I’m forever trying to sneak veggies into smoothies and I find the golden rule is to match the veggie colour with the fruit colour, that’s why this smoothie works so well; mango and sweet potato!
We eat a lot of sweet potatoes in our family and not just because they taste great, they are a nutritional powerhouse. They are full of antioxidants, anti-inflammatory properties and fibre, making them perfect for kids (and mummas) of all ages.
