Clean, Protein Sweet Potato Pie!



Sweet potatoes are a staple for a lot of people when trying to lose weight. All of my friends who compete eat them during prep as they are a great source of complex carbohydrates, and they taste great. However, sometimes I get so tired of eating them. Thus I have been contemplating a different and fun way to consume them. This lead me to "clean, protein sweet potato pie". What I like about this recipe the most is; it is packed with with protein, a good amount of fiber and complex carbohydrates. This pie can be used a complete meal! Whether you want a healthy way to give into a sweet craving, or a nutritious meal to prep and go, this will be a great choice.

  • 3-4 small to medium sized sweet potatoes 
  • 1 egg
  • 2/3 cup of Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
  • 2 tablespoons of liquid Stevia OR 4 packs of Stevia
  • 1 scoop of protein powder of choice (vanilla works best)
  • Dash of ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon of organic whipped butter (healthier option of butters on the market)
  • Optional: low fat graham cracker crust
What you do:
  • Cut potatoes in half and boil until soft OR wrap potatoes in plastic wrap and microwave until soft (15-30 minutes)
  • When potatoes are close to finished, preheat over to 350 degrees
  • Once potatoes are soft, place in strainer to remove excess water
  • Place potatoes in large bowl and add all remaining ingredients 
  • Blend all ingredients with a mixer until well-blended. I use the lowest speed setting. Mixture will be thick. *I use a small mixer. If you do not have one, you could try mixing with a spoon or placing in a large blender.
  • Pour blended mixture into pie crust. If you are not using crust, pour in a pie pan that has been sprayed with nonstick spray.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes
  • Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes
  • Remove from oven, let cool for 10-15 minutes and enjoy!
