Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

½ cup frozen sweet potato (see note)
2 Tbsp canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling)
2 Tbsp almond butter
½ cup almond milk
½ frozen banana
2 Tbsp real maple syrup
¼ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp nutmeg

Directions

Add all the ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth and creamy.
If the mixture is too thick or the blender is struggling, add a little more liquid (almond milk) until it blends smoothly.
Pour into a bowl (or serve in a smoothie cup) and enjoy immediately.
Optional: top with your favorite toppings such as coconut chips, cacao nibs, pepitas or a drizzle of almond butter for extra texture and crunch.

Servings and timing

Servings: 1 bowl.
Prep & total time: approximately 10 minutes.

Variations

Swap the almond butter for peanut butter or cashew butter if you prefer.
Use oat milk or soy milk instead of almond milk.
Add a handful of spinach or kale for a green boost (the sweet potato and pumpkin will still make the color pretty!).
Stir in a scoop of protein powder or collagen powder to increase protein content.
Use a topping of chopped nuts, fresh berries or granola to add crunchy texture.
For a sweeter twist, you can add a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of cardamom.

Storage/Reheating

This smoothie bowl is best eaten fresh for optimal texture and flavor.
If you have leftovers (though unlikely in one serving), you can cover the bowl and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Before eating, stir and add a splash of almond milk to loosen the consistency.
If you freeze leftovers, they will become very hard; you’ll need to thaw and re‑blend with some extra liquid.
Because it contains almond butter and frozen sweet potato, reheating is not necessary — serve chilled for best result.

FAQs

How do I freeze sweet potato for this smoothie?

Peel and cube a raw sweet potato, boil for about 7‑9 minutes until soft, then spread the cubes on a tray and freeze. Once frozen, they’re ready to go in the blender.

Can I use fresh sweet potato instead of frozen?

You could, but you’ll need to cook it first and chill it thoroughly so the bowl stays cold and thick. Using frozen gives the ideal consistency.

Is canned pumpkin the same as pumpkin pie filling?

No — you want pure canned pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling which contains added sugar and spices.

Can I skip the maple syrup?

Yes — you can omit or reduce the maple syrup if you prefer less sweetness. The banana and sweet potato add natural sweetness.

Can I make this gluten‑free?

Yes — the recipe is already gluten‑free by default as long as your almond butter and almond milk are gluten‑free certified.

Can I make this nut‑free?

Yes — substitute almond butter with sunflower seed butter and use a non‑nut milk like oat or rice milk.

What toppings work well?

Great options include coconut chips, pepitas, cacao nibs, chopped almonds, fresh berries or a drizzle of nut or seed butter.

Can I turn this into a smoothie (not a bowl)?

Yes — just blend and serve it in a glass; you might add a little more almond milk to reach a drinkable consistency.

Can I make this ahead for meal prep?

You could pre‑freeze the sweet potato cubes and have the other ingredients ready, but it’s best blended fresh when you’re ready to eat for peak texture and flavor.

How many calories does it have?

The original estimate for one bowl is about 476 calories—this is approximate and can vary based on exact ingredient brands and portions.
