Sweet Potato Smoothie

I haven't tried this smoothie before. It sounds rather interesting. Would love to hear your comments about it.

16 oz. sweet potatoes
1 + tablespoon brown rice syrup
1 tablespoon Sucanant
1 tablespoon vanilla flavoring
1/2 tablespoon butterscotch flavoring
18 oz. water
2 ice cubes (optional)
2 tablespoon sesame tahini

Bake sweet potatoes until tender. Let cool (in refrigerator when not too warm). Peel skins from potatoes and slice into small chunks. Add sweet potatoes to blender along with water, tahini, sweeteners and flavorings. Begin blending. After several seconds of blending, stop the unit and mix the ingredients, if necessary, using a long utensil. Reblend to a creamy consistency. Serve warm or chilled.
