Equipment
Ingredients
- 1/2 purple sweet potato washed, peeled, cubed + water for boiling (about 1 cup)
- 2 cups oat milk
- 1/2 cup chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger minced
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon of cardamom
- 1/8 teaspoon salt to taste
Instructions
- Prepare sweet potatoes and add to a saucepan. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Turn down heat and simmer for about 15 minutes (until sweet potatoes are fork tender). Strain and transfer to a plate and mash. Place plate in the freezer for about 15 minutes to cool.
- Add remaining ingredients to a medium-sized mixing bowl (or a quart-sized jar works well), adding the sweet potatoes last once they are mostly cooled. Combine thoroughly using a whisk. Let soak in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Serve with your favorite nut butter, vegan whipped cream, or berries on top.
Notes
Nutrition For Mental Health
Purple sweet potatoes are packed with antioxidants, being especially rich in anthocyanins. They are also an excellent source of copper, potassium, manganese, as well as vitamins B5, A, C, B6, and niacin. A population-based study found that moderate niacin intake (but not high) is associated with a lower likelihood of depression. Storage Tips
Purple sweet potato chia pudding needs to be in the fridge, and in an airtight container too, which will keep it fresh. It will keep for up to 5 days this way, though you can also store it in your freezer for up to 2 months, too.
