Vanilla Mashed Sweet Potatoes (3/10)

« on: October 19, 2011, 01:14:41 PM »

Hey guys,

More fall recipes! I noticed a similar recipe posted earlier by Amatella, but thought I'd throw in my own version anyway. Perhaps we could even just combine them on one thread!

Ingredients/Macros
1kg sweet potatoes = 860 calories/20g protein
1/2 cup pureed pumpkin = 50 calories/1g protein
1 cup skim milk = 90 calories/9g protein
2 scoops vanilla whey = 240 calories/48g protein
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, allspice and sweetener to taste

Macro totals come out to 1240 calories/78g protein.

Directions

Dice your sweet potatoes into 1-2" cubes and place into a pot of cold water. Place over medium heat until the water reaches a rapid boil. Cook for an additional 20-25 minutes until the potatoes are tender. Drain the excess water when they are done cooking.

Mix milk, whey, and vanilla extract together in a blender. When combined, pour over the potatoes and mash thoroughly. Sprinkle the orange zest on top and mix lightly for a delicious touch =) Enjoy!

Daaaaaayum my man Polished has done it again. I dont know whether I should discus this here, or on the food challenge thing, but I wish to make an ammendment,

1.6 kg of sweet potato (uncooked) is required.

Protein source can be from choice. According to my calculations based on this website ( http://caloriecount.about.com/calories-sweetpotato-i11507?size_grams=133.0 )

1.6 kg sweet potatos ~ 1400 calories (it came out like 1370 but I always round up to stay safe) which means I have 800 calories left for my macros in the PWO. Ill subtract 340 for the good stuff to make this delicious heavenly recipe (dont have pumpkin atm unfortunately) and I think ill slop a ginormous ham steak thats been in the freezer for a while. Ham and Sweet Potatoes? OHHHH YEAAAAh
friday!! Bring your A Game.
