Once a month a lady comes to my classroom and does a nutrition lesson with my preschoolers. It usually involves reading book, playing a game, learning some facts and then trying a recipe. Today's recipe was sweet potato smoothies. Now I don't care for sweet potato's but because my preschoolers were watching I drank it and you know what? It was good! It also had apple juice and frozen peaches in it. I think it tasted like peaches but most of my kiddo's though it tasted like applesauce. Only one refused to even try it. I also learned that a serving of sweet potato's has 220% of your daily recommended vitamin A. So I think I will try to sneak some sweet potato in the next smoothie I make and see if hubby notices, since he says he doesn't like sweet potatoes. :)

I've just started dabbling with sweet potatoes (I'm a bit of a fuss pot). They are very healthy with a lower glycemic index than regular potatoes, which is good for people like me with diabetes. Never heard of smoothies though- interesting!
