Blend it up: Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender. Blend until completely smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more plant-based milk. For a colder smoothie, add a handful of ice and blend again.
Serve: Pour into glasses and enjoy immediately.
Storage & Make Ahead: This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours in a sealed jar. Give it a good shake or stir before drinking. For meal prep, portion into jars and freeze without the plant-based milk — then blend with milk when ready to serve.
-
Bananas: For a lower-sugar version, use 2 bananas and add ½ avocado for creaminess.
-
No sweet potato? Try cooked pumpkin or butternut squash puree.
-
Protein boost: Add 1–2 tablespoons hemp seeds, chia seeds, or a scoop of vegan protein powder.
-
Extra chocolatey? Add 1–2 teaspoons chocolate chips or cacao nibs and blend again briefly for texture.
