Skinny Fruitless Sweet Potato Pie Smoothie
All I can say about this smoothie is that it’s the BEST smoothie I have ever had! And it just so happens to be packed with veggies, including cauliflower, it’s fruitless, and tastes like sweet potato pie! I make this every day; sometimes a couple times a day!
This sweet potato pie smoothie is hands down my favorite smoothie of ALL TIME!! And it just happens to be fruitless, packed with veggies, and yes- cauliflower. I am 100% in love, addicted to this thing, and have no reserves in raving about this combo of frozen veggies blended up. Because the flavors turn out BEAUTIFUL; tastes like pie, also ice-cream, also everything else delicious in the world. And the best part is… it’s THICK and creeemaay as heck! Dip your spoon into that. Sold.
Is it weird how much I love this combo? Eh, I think not. Don’t judge until you try it. It’s like a pumpkin pie smoothie bursting in your mouth, but with the collagen and veggies… it also, just happens to be dinner, or breakfast, or whenever you want to eat it.
sweet potato pie all day. every day.
I will warn you, this smoothie is a gooder and I have been known to eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner (all in the same day). So, if the same happens to you- don’t say I didn’t want you. 😉 I’m dead serious when I say this is my go-to, make every day, never gets old, love of my life, smoothie. I don’t even know what to say, it’s just my absolute FAVE. I hope ya love it too!
My mornings start out: I roll out of bed, crank the heat, stand shivering in the kitchen in my down parka, and read a bit while I sip my tea or water. Then I hit the yoga mat. AND THEN… it’s smoothie time (my favorite time of day 😉 ). In goes all the yummy things, I cover my ears for 1 1/2 minutes and tap my foot on the floor until my veggies magically turn into the best sweet potato pie I’ve ever had!
…Then I freeze even more and wait until lunch comes, so I can make this again.

Ready for the secret the tip that takes this smoothie over the edge- from yummy to obsession worthy?? Ahum… introducing, vanilla collage from Vital Proteins! what makes me love this collagen protein blend even more is the fact that this collagen blend taste SO GOOD, doesn’t have any sweetener, and it’s whole30 approved! I’m not being told to say this, I just really really love this stuff and from me to you- get this good stuff in your life! 🙂 You will love it! I use this blend in my smoothies every. single. day. Ahhhhhhh…
Okay, done now. Sorry for that rant. I just love smoothies.
before you go and make this!!
A few notes on this recipe:
1. Don’t make it with raw cauliflower- it’s gross!
2. The reason I steam then freeze the vegetables is: easier digestion and better taste (tones down the veg flavor)!
3. Use a high powdered blender to get that thick ice-cream texture!
4. Enjoy!

Ingredients
|
- Make sure you have prepared your steamed then frozen vegetables. I just cut them into 1-2" chunks steam for 8-10 minutes until soft, but not mushy. Allow to cool in a strainer before freezing- freeze vegetables in a zipcloc, lay flat in the freezer.
- Blend all ingredients in a high powered blender for 1 1/2 minutes. You can add more or less liquid, depending on how thick you like it. Serve or top with your favorite nut butter and granola.

I don’t like cauliflower, even hidden in the cauliflower rice and a cauliflower pizza. Do you think I should leave the cauliflower out if I can taste it in other recipes? Thank you!!
I would leave it out or reduce the amount. 🙂
Thank you!!
Are carbs not a problem for you, Kaylie? Is it an individual thing? My doc has recommended 20-25 grams per meal and I miss out on so many of your good recipes because of carbs higher than I’m supposed to have. Yes, I could have half a portion but that would be crazy……
Hi Merry, carbs aren’t a problem 🙂 I just focus on nutrients, not counting.
Hello. I would love to make this. However I am allergic to nuts. Any thoughts on how to maybe reinvent this recipe… the nut butters is what I have an issue with.
You could use sunbutter or omit the nut butter.
You could also use avocado in substitution of the nuts. You want to incorporate some fat into your veg smoothie in order for your body to properly use all those fat soluble vitamins.
How many servings is this recipe for?
It serves 2. The serving size is always at the top of the recipe. 🙂
Do you have ideas of how to substitute something less expensive for the vital proteins collagen powder?
Hi Alyssa, you can use any protein powder. 🙂
I can’t wait to try this! So happy I came upon your blog 🙂 I love sweet potatos and pie as well! I have been doing the whole 30 and really like it so might keep a lot of it up well past the 30 days. This would be a perfect recipe for that.
Can you use dates isn’t of maple syrup? If so, how many?
Yes, that will work Colleen. I would do 2 large medjool dates. Enjoy!
Hi! I just made and ate the smoothie. I didn’t see that the amount is for 2 so I ate the whole thing; 2 tall glasses. It is AMAZING! I LOVE it! I used yacon syrup instead of maple syrup and Sprouts Vegan Protein, vanilla. Thank you sooo much for the recipe! I am looking at your other recipes now and very close to buying your ebook. It’s so fun to find such healthy and delicious recipes.
So happy you loved it, thank you Annie!
HOLY CANOLY!!!! You weren’t joking…. This is THE BEST. It’s fall in a cup and officially my new favorite smoothie. I think the most important part is to steam then freeze the vegetables. Anyone reading this…don’t skip this step!
Great to hear Rachel!! So glad you loved it!
