Spiced Kumara Shake

I had some leftover kumara, so I had a go at making a spiced kumara shake! It tastes like a spiced pumpkin drink and I love it! Those who love anything with spiced pumpkin need to give this a go.

Purple kumara is rich in anthocyanins, which possess strong antioxidant properties. It is also high in fibre, vitamin C and potassium.

I use Nutrimeal protein powder to give it an extra protein boost. If you don’t have protein powder, you can replace water with skim milk or other non-dairy milk. The drink will also taste creamier. This becomes a complete breakfast on the go. Enjoy!
