Illustrated recipe card for a sweet potato pie protein shake: an orange shake in a glass with whipped topping and graham crumbs, next to two sweet potatoes

Sweet potato pie is the Thanksgiving dessert people guard the last slice of, so we put it in a blender. Real sweet potato, cinnamon and a pinch of nutmeg over a salted caramel shake base taste like pie filling with a caramel finish, and it takes five minutes with no oven.

Prep time: 5 minutes · Makes: 1 shake

Ingredients

  • 2 scoops Herbalife Formula 1 Salted Caramel Macchiato
  • 1 scoop Personalized Protein Powder
  • 8 oz milk of choice
  • 1/3 cup cooked sweet potato, cooled (or unsweetened canned sweet potato purée)
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 pinch nutmeg (or ground ginger)
  • 1 cup ice
  • Optional: crushed graham cracker and a pinch of flaky sea salt on top

Steps

  1. Pour the milk into the blender and add the cooled sweet potato.
  2. Add Formula 1 Salted Caramel Macchiato, Personalized Protein Powder, cinnamon and nutmeg.
  3. Add the ice.
  4. Blend for 45 to 60 seconds, until completely smooth and thick.
  5. Pour into a glass, top with crushed graham cracker and a pinch of flaky salt, and serve right away.

Tips for Thanksgiving week

  • Use the leftovers. Plain baked or roasted sweet potato from the holiday table works best. Scoop it out of the skin and chill it first so the shake stays cold.
  • No leftovers? Microwave a scrubbed sweet potato for 5 to 7 minutes until soft, or use unsweetened canned sweet potato purée.
  • Thicker or thinner: add a few more ice cubes for a spoonable shake, or an extra splash of milk to sip it through a straw.
  • Make it for the table: double or triple the recipe in a large blender and pour it into small glasses for a Thanksgiving-morning breakfast.

See the Formula 1 label for protein and nutrition per serving.
