Recipe View 1 mins Serve: Pour into glasses and enjoy immediately! Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a slice of banana, if desired. (Time: 1 minute)

For a richer flavor, roast the yams in the oven instead of microwaving. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C), wrap the yams in foil, and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until tender.
Add a pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger for a warm, spiced twist.
For a vegan version, use non-dairy yogurt and milk substitutes.
If you prefer a thicker smoothie, freeze the diced yams before blending.
Adjust the amount of sweetener to your liking, depending on the sweetness of the yams and banana.
