This sweet potato smoothie with cream cheese is a fall favorite that looks and tastes almost like pumpkin pie filling! It's incredibly smooth, creamy and so cozy.
🍂 What This Fall Smoothie Tastes Like
- 😋 Taste & Texture: Similar to the taste and texture of pumpkin pie, according to my kids. Cooked sweet potatoes have a nice, natural sweetness that tastes candy-like. The banana flavor is not very noticeable but it adds a touch of sweetness and helps the smoothie stay smooth.
- 🍭 Sweetness: Slightly sweet but not overly.
- 🥤 Thickness: Medium thickness. Straw or no-straw friendly.
- 🥛 Creaminess: Extra smooth and creamy.
🍠 Ingredients
- sweet potato - Sweet potatoes are larger than regular potatoes and have copper-brown skin/bright orange flesh. They are not the same as a yam, which is bark-like brown.
- almond milk - I use sweetened plain almond milk without vanilla flavor as we are already adding vanilla in this recipe.
- cream cheese - I like to buy the brick cream cheese for this recipe. It's easier to measure and cut into a quarter cup section.
- bananas - You can either find frozen banana slices in the freezer section of the supermarket or freeze your own. Bananas add a nice sweetness to the smoothie.

✔️ Joss' Top Tips
My top tips are:
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened ahead of time so that it blends nicely.
- Spend a little extra time blending to make sure the cream cheese is fully incorporated.
- Make sure the mashed sweet potato has fully cooled.
- If you like it a little sweeter, maple syrup is the perfect sweetener to add.
