Sweet potato in my protein shake....

...sounded good before I actually tried it...I won't be eating sweet potato for a couple of weeks.

I'm having trouble working sweet potato into my diet. I've had them sitting in my kitchen but only time I eat em is as a snack when I'm stuck away from the house. Just eat em raw and outta a ziplock bag. They're so healthy, too. Wish I could turn them into french fries somehow ...

I love having em around the house just when I feel like having something else besides brown rice. Just pop em in the microwave and they come out soft and delicious. Go great with any meats.

I love mashing up a sweet potato and mixing it with cottage cheese.

It looks like puke but tastes awesome!

why in the world would you put that in your PWO shake? makes no sense. PWO meal i can understand, but you eat that, not drink it.

Slice them up like french fries and bake for about 20 minutes or until done..

You could make a great tasting prewo shake using either sweet potatoes or pumpkin and some vanilla or unflavored whey with a pumpkin pie spice mixture. Probably too fibrous for postwo. In any case, you wouldn't want to use a full serving of the potatos or pumpkin.

It wasn't post workout, it was just my mid-day between meal shake that I usually spike with some oats and banana.

I won't be repeating the experiment. Luckily it was the 2nd to the last sweet potato I had cooked up, so I'll only have to gag one more down before I can forget about sweet potatos for a couple of weeks.

Why didn't it taste good? I thought about doing this myself.

The taste wasn't too bad(tasted like liquid sweet potato, suprisingly enough) but the texture was a little odd. Very thick n starchy, if you've ever drank thickened water it reminded me of that but more starchy texture. Doubling up on the liquid might help(I used 8 oz of whole milk, 2tbsp peanut butter, scoop of whey, and a big ass sweet potato). Maybe 16oz of milk wouldn't be too bad.

Yeah man, that would have been a total disaster if he ate it PWO.

I usually just cut em up into small slices and put em on a pan in the oven for about 25 minutes, at like 400 degrees. I think.... It's been awhile though. Gotta lay off the amount of splenda I used to put on em though.
