Sweet Potato Smoothies – 3 Kid-Friendly Recipes
Kid-friendly sweet potato smoothies using frozen sweet potato chunks and other healthy ingredients.
The day I discovered the frozen sweet potato chunks at my local co-op was oddly exciting. Not only was it a new way to keep a healthy staple on hand for soups and stews – but also something fun and different to add to our smoothies!
And bonus – sweet potatoes make for a surprisingly pretty smoothie too – a light peachy, orange color. If you’re the type who has a little trouble with the green and puke brown colors that come from making smoothies with wads of spinach or a few too many rainbow-colored ingredients (remember mixing all those paint colors together as a kid and coming up with brown?), you’ll know exactly what I mean!
I got straight to work (so hard!) to come up with 3 smoothie versions using sweet potatoes as a base. They’ve all been kid-approved (yum!), mom-approved (healthy!) and pass the smoothie fashion test – because that’s SO important!
FYI – the frozen sweet potatoes I buy are raw and come from Stahlbush Island Farms, but I bet you can find other brands out there too. Or you could freeze your own, which is something I plan on doing at some point.

You give the kids raw sweet potatoes? Isn’t that a bit heavy for them to digest?
We’ve never had a problem using small quantities in a smoothie.
