A sweet, decadent and healthy smoothie that’s so good, you could swear you are having dessert for breakfast 😉
I feel like the last couple of posts I have been sharing have been “hello from ___”! And today, well, hello from New Jersey! Chris and I took a trip back to his hometown to visit his family, some of our friends and attend a wedding, and we decided to make a 3 week trip out of it and enjoy our time out here!
This recipe is a part of our Sweet Potato Breakfast Series where we created 5 sweet potato-centric meals you can enjoy in the morning, or whenever you please.
For one thing, I wanted to help convert those who aren’t sweet potato fans to newfound sweet potato fanatics. This all stemmed from Chris not loving them as much as I do, and my dedication to convince him otherwise 😛 Also because of how nutritionally dense these spuds are. Did you know sweet potatoes are an excellent source of vitamin A (in the form of beta-carotene) and are a good source of vitamin C, manganese, copper, pantothenic acid, vitamin B6, potassium, dietary fiber, iron, niacin, vitamin B1, vitamin B2 and phosphorus? Yes, the list just goes on and on and basically, they are a nutritional powerhouse and a food we should consider often in our diets.
This sweet potato pie smoothie bowl is a perfect way to fuel your day, and you can enjoy it for breakfast, lunch OR dinner (at least I do 😉 )!

Sweet Potato Pie Smoothie Bowl {easy & gluten-free}
- Total Time: 5 minutes
- Yield: 1
Description
This sweet potato pie smoothie is sweet, decadent and healthy–yet tastes like you are having dessert for breakfast. It is the perfect way to fuel your day!
Ingredients
For the smoothie:
- 1/2 cup mashed sweet potato*
- 1/2 cup almond milk (or plant milk of choice)
- 1 frozen banana
- 1 medjool date
- 1 tablespoon coconut butter (or nut butter of choice)
- 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Top with anything you’d like, I used:
- Granola of choice (or try our oil-free crunchy granola)
- Dried mulberries
- Crushed walnuts
- Cacao nibs
- Chopped strawberries
- Blueberries
- Shredded coconut
- Chia seeds
Instructions
- Place all of the smoothie ingredients into a high speed blender, and process until smooth.

Notes
- To bake sweet potatoes: Thoroughly wash and prick your sweet potatoes each 2-3 time with a fork or knife. Wrap them in parchment paper and then with foil, then place them directly on the oven rack in the middle of the oven. Turn the oven on to 425F and bake for 40 minutes or until sweet potatoes are soft. Cool completely before using.
- If you don’t have an oven, you can boil or steam the sweet potatoes, or even opt or canned!
- Prep Time: 5 mins

I think this will be great Sweet Potato Pie Smoothie Bowl . Thanks for the share!
how may portions does this recipe make and how well will it keep? Can it be frozen?
It makes one recipe and will keep for 1 day in the refrigerator although fresh is best 🙂
Oh yes please – what a fab idea! I’d love to add the mulberries to this as suggested.
Mulberries are one of my faves! 🙂
This looks so good! I can’t wait to make it this week. Sweet potatoes are on my grocery list.
Yay I hope you enjoy it Juli! 🙂
The perfect fall inspired smoothie bowl!
I love sweet potatoes! I make sweet potato pudding by blending sweet potatoes and kabocha squash–it’s incredibly delicious! I’m really skeptical about combining sweet potatoes in a fruit smoothie, but this looks too amazing to pass up!
Wow that sounds so delicious, I’ll have to try that out!
🙂
Holy moly, what a beautiful picture! I looove this – pumpkin pie spice + sweet potato is delightful.
Thank you Sarah! 🙂
I adore sweet potato in smoothies. I like the idea of serving it as a smoothie bowl so you can load on the topping!
The toppings are the best part! 😛
Can I also cut and boil or steam them ? i dont have an oven! :/
Yes, totally! 🙂
