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.
