Helpful Tips and Variations
– If you don’t have maple syrup, honey or agave syrup make excellent alternatives for sweetness.
– For a dairy-free option, replace Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt.
– Customize your smoothie bowl by adding superfoods like flax seeds, hemp hearts, or a scoop of protein powder.
Storage and Substitutions
Refrigerate any leftover smoothie base in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Give it a quick stir before serving again.
If sweet potatoes are not in season, pumpkin puree or butternut squash can be suitable substitutes, offering a similar texture and flavor profile.
Pairings and Complements
This Sweet Potato Smoothie Bowl pairs beautifully with a toasted slice of whole-grain bread topped with avocado and a dash of sea salt. For a more indulgent treat, serve it alongside a plate of freshly-baked banana bread, bringing additional warmth and comfort to your breakfast table.
