Who else likes breakfasts that are made with whole food ingredients, minimal sugar, and are still super filling? This Fall Glow Smoothie is a tasty little miracle in a bowl!
Smoothies and smoothie bowls are so great for breakfast! If you’re not on the smoothie train, let me convince you:
- Quick to make
- Require minimal ingredients (this one only has 6 + 2 spices you probably already have in your pantry)
- You can fill them with lots of wholesome things like sweet potatoes, spinach, almond butter, etc.
- Most of the ingredients are kept in the freezer – so it’s easy to keep all ingredients on hand!
- They’re easy to make vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, refined sugar free or all of the above!
For this beauty, we’re blending up some frozen sweet potato, a little pumpkin, some almond butter, almond milk, frozen banana, maple syrup, and a pinch of cinnamon and nutmeg. Hello, fall flavors!
If you’re a little weirded about by the sweet potato – trust me. Okay? It’s so good and makes your smoothies incredibly creamy with a hint of added sweetness. Plus they have the good-for-you, filling kind of carbs, and some fiber – aka you won’t be hangry 10 minutes after eating this!
Which is what often happens to me when I opt for a wimpy granola bar for breakfast.
Plus – LOOK at that color! I love everything about this situation. You can get kinda fancy and top your smoothie bowl with whatever you like! I used coconut chips, cacao nibs, pepitas, and a drizzle of almond butter.
Plus, we can all feel good about our choices after having this for breakfast – and we might even treat ourselves to a reeses pumpkin later on. Because, balance. Happy fall!

So, so good! Had it for dessert and topped it like you did (didn’t look as pretty though?) and added some cacao powder as one of the toppings as well. Super delicious and healthy! Will be making it again this week?

Yum! I assume that the frozen sweet potato you cook first, correct?
Stephanie Simmons says
Yes! I think I mention that in the recipe notes 🙂
Stephanie Simmons says
Oops I was wrong – I’ll edit the recipe to include that – so sorry! I peel and cube my sweet potatoes and boil them for 7-9 minutes, then freeze them for use in smoothies later 🙂
Catherine Brown says
Frozen sweet potato, how clever! This looks really delicious too… and there’s always that last bit of pumpkin that needs to get used too, which this is perfect for!
Stephanie Simmons says
Thanks Catherine!!

My blueberry smoothie is so plain and boring compared to this one! I’m not really a big pumpkin fan, but with all the other wonderful ingredients in this smoothie bowl I think I would love it. I’m going to try this out very soon

Thanks Karyl! Let me know what you think of it. A blueberry smoothie sounds so good too!

I often get hungry like 10 minutes after a smoothie bowl, but as you pointed out, sweet potato makes it a lot more filling. And I need a filling breakfast to keep me going. It looks so delicious!

Yum, sounds amazing. I love sweet potato smoothies! Squash is really good too. I haven’t really been having smoothie bowls since switching over to oats the with the cooler weather but I think I can bring them back for this!
