½ cup frozen sweet potato
2 tablespoons canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling)
2 tablespoons almond butter
½ cup almond milk

Directions

If you haven’t already, prepare the frozen sweet potato: peel and cube a raw sweet potato, boil for 7–9 minutes until soft, then freeze for later use.
Add all the ingredients (frozen sweet potato, canned pumpkin, almond butter, almond milk, frozen banana, maple syrup, cinnamon, and nutmeg) into a high-speed blender.
Blend until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick or the blender struggles, add a little more almond milk and blend again.
Pour the smoothie into a bowl (or enjoy it in a cup, if preferred).
Top with your favorite toppings: coconut chips, cacao nibs, pepitas, sliced banana, chia seeds, etc. (optional)
Serve immediately and enjoy.

Variations

Swap almond butter for peanut butter or cashew butter for a different nut flavor.
Use oat milk, soy milk, or any plant-based milk instead of almond milk.
Add a handful of spinach or kale for a green boost (note: color will change).
Stir in a scoop of plant-based protein powder for added protein.
Top with granola, pumpkin seeds, nuts, berries, or extra nut butter.
Adjust sweetness or spice with more maple syrup, ginger, or cloves.

Storage/Reheating

Best enjoyed immediately while thick and creamy.
If storing leftovers, place in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 day. Stir well and add a splash of milk before serving.
Can be frozen without toppings in a freezer-safe container. Thaw for 10–15 minutes, then stir or blend again with a splash of milk to restore consistency.
