Optional toppings: Sliced bananas, extra chia seeds, crunchy granola, melted nut butter, or toasted nuts like walnuts or pecans for added texture and flavor.

Instructions

Add Frozen Banana to Blender: Start by placing the frozen banana slices into your high-powered blender. Freezing the banana ensures a thick and creamy texture while chilling the smoothie naturally without ice.
Add Sweet Potato Purée and Ingredients: Next, add the sweet potato purée followed by chia seeds, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and optional almond or peanut butter. Layering ingredients this way helps the blender to mix everything evenly.
Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high until the mixture is silky and fully combined, creating a rich, creamy consistency that highlights all the warm spices and natural sweetness.
Adjust Consistency: If the smoothie is too thick for your liking, add additional almond milk, one tablespoon at a time, or incorporate ice cubes for a frostier texture. Blend briefly to incorporate.
Pour and Add Toppings: Pour the smoothie into your favorite glass. Add any desired toppings such as sliced bananas, extra chia seeds, granola, melted nut butter, or toasted nuts to elevate texture and flavor complexity.
Enjoy Immediately: Sip your cozy sweet potato pie smoothie right away to savor its fresh, vibrant flavors and creamy texture at its best.
