Sweet Potato Mango Smoothie

Sweet potato smoothie with mango is a delicious way to include more vegetables in your diet. This dairy free, creamy, naturally sweet and zesty smoothie is great for breakfast and beyond!

This delicious, 5-ingredient creamy sweet potato smoothie with mango is a simple recipe that’s bursting with flavour and goodness.  If you do a tiny bit of preparation this smoothie can be ready in seconds!

The sweet potato needs to be baked whole, but this is easy to do and can be prepared ahead.  Simply place your sweet potato on a baking sheet and pop in the oven for about 30-40 minutes or until tender (check with a fork).  Remove from the oven and leave to cool, then peel off the skin and make the smoothie.  If you bake the sweet potato the night before leave the skin on until you are ready to make the recipe.

If you love a glass of orange juice in the morning you will love this smoothie bowl! It contains 3 clementines (you can use tangerines or 1 large orange instead) and a bit of lemon juice to balance out the sweetness of the sweet potato and mango.

Thanks to the addition of the citrus fruit (lemon juice especially) the smoothie will also retain its vibrant orange colour.  You can keep any leftovers in the fridge, covered, overnight.  The smoothie will taste just as fresh the next day too!

Can you taste the sweet potato in this smoothie

If you are wondering whether you can taste the sweet potato in this smoothie the answer is – NO!  No one in my family (a total of 5) was able to guess the smoothie contained sweet potato.  The predominant flavour is mango with a bit of zest from the citrus fruit.  Everyone agreed they could taste ‘something else’ but didn’t know what it was!

Equipment you’ll need

• Kitchen scale/measuring cup
• Chopping board, knife and vegetable peeler
• Small tray for baking the sweet potato
• Blender
• Glass and jar/bottle for storing the smoothie

Top tips for making sweet potato and mango smoothie

• Sweet potato: I recommend using a long, not very round sweet potato.  The slimmer the potato the less time it will need in the oven.  You can use either one larger potato or 2 small ones.
• Make ahead: Place your sweet potato on a baking sheet and pop in the oven for about 30-40 minutes or until tender (check with a fork).  Remove from the oven and leave to cool, then peel and make the smoothie.  If you bake the sweet potato the night before leave the skin on until you are ready to make the recipe.
• Mango: Use fresh or frozen.
• Tangerines: These can be swapped for clementines or 1 large orange.
• Serve chilled.
• Storing: Refrigerate leftover smoothie in a bottle or jar for up to 2 days.
