Mashed sweet potatoes don’t need many ingredients to taste delicious — but when you amp them up with collagen protein, coconut milk, and ghee, they become a naturally sweet and creamy crowd-pleaser.

Healthy fats from coconut milk and ghee create an amazing mouthfeel and smooth texture in these mashed sweet potatoes. Make them for holiday meals or as an everyday side dish, or even as a post-workout meal. No matter how you prep them, these mashed sweet potatoes work to support digestive health and smoother skin thanks to the amazing benefits of collagen protein.

I love adding collagen to recipes because I can easily get more protein in my favorite dishes without changing the flavor. It makes a great addition to soups and sauces, especially since it dissolves easily and is more heat-stable than whey protein. Adding collagen to mashed sweet potatoes creates a subtle creaminess that may have people wondering what your secret ingredient is.

Add more flavor to your mashed sweet potatoes with fresh herbs like sage or rosemary, or anti-inflammatory spices like turmeric. Enjoy them with a heaping serving of green veggies and main dishes like slow cooker short ribs, coffee marinated steak, or oven baked trout.
