In this Food Medicine in Life episode, functional‑medicine practitioner Dr. Preeti Nanda explains why fruit‑based smoothies can spike blood sugar and advocates balancing them with lower‑glycemic vegetables. She demonstrates a sweet‑potato smoothie, starting by roasting two sweet potatoes on a tawa until fully cooked. She then combines the baked potatoes with cashews, a pinch of salt, and ½–⅓ cup of protein powder (chocolate or vanilla) in a blender, adding water or ice for a chilled summer drink. After blending, she emphasizes tasting the result and invites viewers to comment on their experience, reinforcing the practical, health‑focused approach to smoothie making.

Welcome to the channel Food Medicine in Life, and I am your host, Dr. Preeti Nanda, practicing functional medicine in Gurgaon. So you've always been making smoothies with fruits. Right? And you know that I always keep telling you, fruits have high glycemic index, so you need to balance that when you have it. Too much fruit is also not a great idea to have in your diet. So today we are going to make sweet potato smoothie. I've taken 2 sweet potatoes and I'm going to roast it. So you can roast it on a tawa or on a roasting handle like this, just put it on sim and let it simmer and roast properly. To make sweet potato smoothie, so I am putting these 2 baked sweet potatoes in this jar. Adding some cashews. You can choose how much you want depending on the taste you have. A little salt because it's a vegetable smoothie, so salt can go in. And half or 1/3 cup of protein powder. Yes, so I use chocolate protein powder. If you use vanilla flavor or any other protein powder, you can add that. And I'm going to add water. You can also add ice with this because of course it's summers now and you want to have it chilled. And we will just blend it, and our baked sweet potatoes will be ready. And guys, don't forget to make it and taste it, because if it would not have been tasty, I would not have been sharing it with you. And do share in your comment box how do you like it.
