Spiced Sweet Potato-Snickerdoodle Milkshake

Hey everyone! I'm back from my little trip with my mom and sister. I'll have to recap that trip for you soon. It was... interesting. I don't think I'll ever go to a concert again. :( I did have some good pizza though...

Also, Eric's post about his trip is coming soon. He's finishing up writing it and then I'll post it shortly.

To tide you over, I have an easy, kid friendly recipe for you all. Spiced Sweet Potato-Snickerdoodle Milkshakes! This recipe is easy to whip up and doesn't take any time at all. I think your kids would really enjoy making this with you, and also drinking it! This milkshake is really, really delicious.



Annnd, it's not that bad for you! It contains healthy cooked North Carolina sweet potatoes, low-fat ice cream (or frozen yogurt), skim milk, walnuts and cinnamon. Oh, and some chopped up snickerdoodle cookies, too. Snickerdoodles aren't healthy, but they're very, very appealing to kids.

I have a good recipe for those too, which I'll post soon. So many posts, so little time!

If you love sweet potatoes as much as I do, you'll love this milkshake!
