Here’s What You’ll Need

This cozy fall drink consists of as few as 6 simple ingredients (with some optional mix-ins). Jump to the recipe card for exact measurements—this is only an overview!

Sweet Potato: Sweet potatoes add a super creamy consistency to smoothies, and they’re also rich in nutrients (seriously, they’re full of healthy carbs, protein, fiber, and vitamins like A, C, and B6).
Banana: To achieve that perfect icy smoothie, pop in a frozen banana.
Milk: Smoothies always need liquid, so we’ll use milk to keep things rich and creamy. Any type (cow’s or plant-based) will work!
Maple Syrup: We’ll drizzle some maple syrup on top to add flavor and sweetness. (You could also use 2 Medjool dates!)
Pumpkin Spice: Add pumpkin spice for that yummy, in-season flavor.
Vanilla: Finally, add vanilla extract for the perfect finishing touch.

Making This Smoothie Is As Easy As Pie

This sweet potato smoothie recipe takes just 15 minutes to prepare. Jump to the recipe card for the full printable instructions!

Step 1: Prepare The Potato
Peel and dice the sweet potato. Place the cubes in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high until tender. Let them cool before blending.

A blender filled with frozen banana chunks, diced sweet potato, and spices — Start with less milk (about ¼ cup), then add more as needed to get your blender moving along.

Step 2: Blend The Ingredients
Add the cooked sweet potato and all of the remaining ingredients to a blender, then blitz until smooth.

A blender filled with freshly blended sweet potato smoothie — Feel free to add a spoonful of your favorite nut butter (for a boost of healthy fats) or fresh ginger (for a slightly spicy, zingy flavor).

Additional topping ideas

I like to top my sweet potato smoothie with a handful of granola, but the topping ideas don’t stop there! Here are some more delicious ideas.

Nuts: Sprinkle chopped almonds, cashews, or even peanuts on top.
Granola: Include your favorite granola for extra crunch and sweetness.
Seeds: Add hemp, chia, or even flaxseeds for more nutrients.
Cacao: Add a bit of chocolatey goodness with cacao nibs!
