Method
 

Preparation
  1. Place the frozen banana slices in the bottom of a high-powered blender.
  2. Add the sweet potato purée, chia seeds, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla. If desired, add almond butter or peanut butter.
  3. Blend until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides if necessary.
  4. Adjust the texture with more milk if too thick, or add ice/cold purée if too thin.
  5. Pour into a glass and top with your choice of toppings.

Notes

For the best flavor and texture, use cold sweet potato purée and consume the smoothie the same day. Adjust sweetness based on ripeness of the banana.
