Notes
- adapted from recipe by Dr Brooke Goldner published in Vegan Health and Fitness magazine
- A powerful, high-speed blender such as a Vitamix helps a lot. This requires complete blending of the ingredients.
- We find its a LOT easier on the blender if you add everything EXCEPT the potatoes, blend, then add the potatoes in stages.
- As always, we strongly recommend using organic ingredients. Since this recipe is primarily root veggies it will be healthier and taste richer, too!
- We LOVE adding the jalapeños for the xtra kick. Canned, or jarred, is fine but for a little extra sharpness, consider fresh jalapeños, cut to a fine dice.
