A holiday favorite made healthy and high-protein! Sweet Potato Protein Pie!
Similar to my Pumpkin Protein Pie, the recipe for this Sweet Potato Protein Pie starts with a traditional recipe and makes some simple substitutions. Instead of sweetened evaporated milk, I’m using vanilla whey protein mixed with water. And instead of a traditional crust, I’m using a protein crust made with vanilla rice or pea protein and almond butter. Now you can enjoy holiday pie while fueling your body!
