Hello, hello!
Happy Sunday to you! Today for #SundaySupper our mission is to make something for Fat Tuesday! Oh how I love New Orleans kind of foods, but to my surprise my Husband doesn’t like anything Cajun. It’s horrible! I originally thought I would make gumbo soup, but instead I made myself a treat! Sweet Potato Pie Smoothie! Oh yah, that is what I am talking about!
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Sweet Potatoes and what better way to enjoy them then in a smoothie? This smoothie is sweet, has the most wonderful cinnamon flavor and tastes just like pie. You can’t get any better than that! Ohhhh, drinking pie baby, now that’s what I’m talking about.
To make the smoothie, you can use leftover sweet mashed potatoes or you can do what I did, cook the potato in the microwave, and then let it cool, peel the skin and pop in the blender. To give it the pie flavor, I used nutmeg, cinnamon and to sweetened it up maple syrup. All good stuff. I also used greek yogurt and non-fat milk to make it. I tried unsweetened vanilla almond milk and I felt the almond milk was a little strong in flavor. So I re-made it with non-fat milk. Coconut milk would work great too!! To make it vegan, use coconut yogurt!!
- ½ cup sweet potato cooked, mashed (I used 4 oz potato)
- ½ cup greek yogurt, plain
- 1 cup non-fat milk or milk of choice
- ¼ tsp. vanilla extract
- 2 tsp. maple syrup or more to taste
- ¼ tsp. cinnamon
- 1 dash nutmeg
- 1 cup of ice
- Topping:
- 2 tbsp. whip cream, fat free
- 1 tsp. pecans, finely chopped
- Add all of the ingredients except for the topping in a blender; process until smooth. Pour into a glass and top with whip cream and pecans.

Hmmmm, I wonder what this would taste like with a splash of bourbon? Bourbon and maple syrup make a wonderful combo. Ok, now I am just dreaming here. Anyway, I am looking so forward to seeing what everyone created! I need to come visit my #SundaySupper family so I can have some good old Fat Tuesday food! Darn that Husband of mine!
Now don’t forget to check out the #SundaySupper crews Fat Tuesday dishes!
Have a wonderful Sunday!

Jennifer

Oh my! Drinking pie??? What a fantastic idea!!!! I’d love one full glass of it!
I commiserate with you and the picky hubby! Your smoothie looks divine!!!
Thank you so much Liz!
I’m thinking a splash of bourbon would make this the PERFECT after dinner drink! It looks delish!
Thank you so much and yes adding the bourbon would make the perfect after dinner drink.
We love sweet potato pie, so I know my kiddies are going to go crazy for this smoothie. And I’m pretty sure my Hubby and I are going to LOVE the grown-up version with a shot of bourbon! 🙂
Thank you so much for hosting this week Leslie! 🙂
You are the smoothie queen and what a delightful combination of flavors you have with this one!! YUM!!
Ahhh, thank you so much Tara! I just have so much fun making smoothies!
I mean…wow! This looks heavenly!
Thank you Nichole!
You had me at splash of bourbon. Next time I will looking for the gumbo too!
Ha ha! I don’t know what it is, but sweet potatoes, maple syrup and bourbon go so well together!
Looks and sounds so good! Lovely photos!
Thank you so much!!
Oooo I can almost taste it! It looks delicious! 🙂 great idea.
Thank you so much! 🙂
Okay I have never heard of someone using sweet potato in a drink, this sounds so interesting. This year I have really gotten into smoothie making so this is going to have to be a must try. By the way I too would be so sad if my husband didn’t like Cajun food, maybe one of the recipes shared today will be the thing that helps you sway him. 🙂
I know I can’t wait to check out all of the recipes! I am sure I will find one my Husband will like! There are so many wonderful ones!
I love sweet potato pie and drinking it for breakfast would be the ultimate treat!
Yum! This would make a great, filling breakfast!
I need this smoothie in my life! I’m always looking for new ways to eat sweet potatoes since they’re such a nutrient powerhouse. This is awesome!
I know I love sweet potatoes and it was fun making one in a smoothie!
This sounds like something I’d want around Thanksgiving! I have to admit, as I was reading I was a little confused how this correlates to Mardi Gras? …but then you mentioned adding bourbon which of course has Fat Tuesday written allllll over it!
Yah Sweet Potato and Pumpkin is a Thanksgiving thing, but sweet potato pie is pretty big in New Orleans! Plus the bourbon is a bonus addition!
It’s like a tasty sweet potato souffle that you can slow down a savor. Great idea!
Thank you Marjory!!
This looks sooooo good! I love a good sweet potato pie… put it in a smoothie & I’m sold!
Oh, what a perfect treat!
I have been curious about this since I saw your title, and it looks absolutely scrumptious! I would never have thought to use sweet potatoes in a smoothie, but I just adore all the flavors you’ve used here! Thank you for introducing me to this delightful drink!
This is just genius, Jennifer!!! Drinking a pie. I just love everything about this!!!!
Looks great! I think I’m the only one around here who doesn’t like sweet potatoes, but I’m confident I can sub in pumpkin pretty easily, this one looks too good not to try. I might even try a sip of one with sweet potato!
Sweet potato? I’m there!
Yummy!
This drink is so interesting! I’d love to try it sometime.
I just love sweet potatoes too!! My mouth is watering right now, yummy!
Besides looking amazingly delicious, I LOVE your creativity. Sweet pototoes in a smoothie? FAB!!
Sweet potato pie smoothie – what a brilliant idea for a healthy treat!
Oh so sad that your husband doesn’t like cajun! I’m totally dying for some of your sweet potato pie smoothie though. It looks amazing! I usually crave savory but well you know every so often you just have to have the sweet. Yum!
Oooh – this looks divine! Especially with the dollop of whipped cream on top!
This is such a great idea and it sounds delicious!
No kidding! DRINKING PIE! You are an evil genius, Jennifer!
This is such a creative smoothie, Jennifer! I love it!
I wouldn’t have thought of sweet potatoes, but am game for this yummy smoothie
This is insanely amazing. I love your pictures and I know I’d love this! Must make!
You had me with your first picture, then when I read the ingredients I got all excited since I just bought sweet potatoes………but no cool whip! AHHH!!! Maybe I’ll have to go without! Thanks for sharing Jennifer!
The whip cream is fun, but it’s great without it too!
Pie made even more portable-whoot!
I love that idea!
This could be what turns me into a smoothie drinker. Love sweet potatoes!!
Thanks Renee! Oh I just love my smoothies!
Girl, I LOVE sweet potatoes and I LOVE that you made sweet potato pie into a drink! This is brilliant! And it’s healthy. Even if it were full fat that wouldn’t have stopped me from gulping it down in the first place but that fact that this is pretty good for me is definitely a bonus. The bourbon will be for my mental health 😉
Ha ha! You crack me up!! I love sweet potato anything and drinking it just plan fun and oh yes, the bourbon is a great addition.
This is such a cool recipe Jennifer. I love the topping, I want a big old scoop, then a big old sip. xx
Thank you so much Kim!
I gave this to my smoothie-holic coworker, she’s in love with you now haha!
Ha ha ha! Thank you for sharing! I hope she likes it!! 🙂
That looks and sounds lovely. Must try it! Yummmmmm
