Why These Ingredients?

This isn’t just a fall-flavored smoothie. Each ingredient earns it’s place in the blender.

🍠 Sweet Potato

Sweet potatoes are especially rich in beta-carotene, which the body converts into vitamin A. They also provide fiber and potassium.

🍎 Apple

Keeping the peel on adds fiber and naturally occurring plant compounds. Apples also bring natural sweetness without needing juice or added sugar.

🍌 Banana

Bananas add natural sweetness, creaminess and potassium.

🌾 Old-Fashioned Oats

Oats provide soluble fiber, including beta-glucan, and help make the smoothie more satisfying.

🥛 Greek Yogurt

Greek yogurt adds creaminess along with protein and calcium.

🌱 Unsweetened Soy Milk

Soy milk provides additional plant-based protein and creates a creamy consistency without adding much sweetness.

🌿 Cinnamon, Ginger + Nutmeg

These warming spices create that unmistakable autumn flavor without relying on flavored syrups or excess sugar. In addition they all provide antioxidant protection.

Make It Your Own

Once you've made the original, play with it.

Want more protein?
Add a spoonful of nut or seed butter or your favorite unsweetened protein powder.

Want it more filling?
Add another tablespoon or two of oats.

Want it sweeter?
Try one pitted date before reaching for added sweetener.

Dairy-free?
Skip the Greek yogurt or substitute an unsweetened plant-based yogurt.

Want some greens?
Add a small handful of spinach. The color will change, but the fall flavors can still hold their own. 🌿

Healthy doesn’t have to be complicated. Small choices count. Choosing one nourishing meal. Drinking another glass of water. Taking ten quiet minutes. Walking after dinner. Going to bed a little earlier. Wellness isn’t built in one dramatic transformation. It’s built through the practices we return to.
