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?
So glad you enjoyed this smoothie bowl, Carmen! 🙂
Love this recipe!! It’s delicious and gorgeous and gives me all the fall vibes. Great for ‘gramming too 🙂 Thank you!
So glad you loved this recipe, Shannon! Fall vibes for the win ??
This looks super delicious.
Thank you! ?
Yum! I assume that the frozen sweet potato you cook first, correct?
Yes! I think I mention that in the recipe notes 🙂
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 🙂
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!
Thanks Catherine!!
with all of my favorite ingredients, this is my way to start the day
Loving all things pumpkin right now. I haven’t seen a pumpkin smoothie bowl yet and it looks so tasty. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Kelly!
This looks absolutely yummy! One pumpkin recipe that actually excites me! Looks like a great recipe for the little one on a school day. Will be trying this one soon.
I love smoothie bowls. Very healthy and fits the season so well. Definitely, a perfect way to use up leftover ingredients.
