Instructions
Make the Lavender Tea
Boil 1 cup of water, pour into a measuring cup, and add 2 tea bags, swirl with a spoon, and allow to steep 10 minutes. You could also make this ahead and freeze ice cube trays, and use the lavender tea ice to make the smoothie.
1 cup lavender tea
Make Smoothie
Boil purple sweet potatoes about 20 minutes, let them cool, peel off skin, and measure out one cup of sweet potato and put it into the blender. You can use sweet potato puree but the color of the smoothie will change.
1 cup purple sweet potato
Add the blueberries, lavender tea, and maple syrup to taste, and blend until combined.
1 cup frozen blueberries, 1-2 tablespoon maple syrup
Add dairy free milk in increments of 1 tablespoon to help your blend reach a smoothie consistency. You also may not need it.
2-4 tablespoon dairy free milk
Pour the smoothie into a jar, swirl some yogurt for show. I topped mine with hemp seeds.
