Sweet Potato Smoothie Bowl

This sweet potato smoothie bowl is creamy, delicious and packed with healthy ingredients. It makes the perfect post-workout breakfast.

Ahhh smoothie bowls. An essential food group for bloggers and Instagram influencers, myself included. There’s just something so satisfying about a bowl of sweet, frosty goodness with toppings galore. The flavor and texture combinations are endless, and let’s be real. We can all appreciate how pretty they are.

Lately, I have been experimenting with nontraditional ingredients to give my smoothies more flavor, better texture, and even more nutrition. One of my current favorite blend-ins is roasted sweet potato.

This time around, I used organic purple sweet potatoes because I’m a sucker for that gorgeous color. I mean…come on. It’s just stunning. Real food for the win.

Purple sweet potato isn’t required, though. You can use any kind of sweet potato you’d like, and this smoothie would still be beautiful with a bright orange hue (#priorities). I blended the sweet potato with frozen banana because I wanted that sweet potato flavor to really shine through, but this would also be amazing with frozen berries if you’re looking for something a little more fruity.

I kept the toppings simple for this smoothie so the flavor of the sweet potato can really shine through. This version is topped with grain-free granola, chia seeds, Cashew Cardamom Butter by Jem Organics (my favorite nut butter of the moment) and coconut flakes. So simple. So good.

If you love smoothie bowls as much as I do, definitely give this sweet potato smoothie bowl a try. It is incredibly satisfying, and the original version is a refreshing change from extremely fruity smoothies. Let’s get to blending.
