Sweet potatoes aren’t just for roasting or baking—they’re a secret powerhouse for your health, and they make some of the most vibrant, satisfying juices you can imagine. Naturally sweet, earthy, and packed with vitamins, minerals, and fibre, sweet potatoes can support heart health, stabilise blood sugar, aid digestion, and even help calm stress. If you’ve never tried juicing them, you’re in for a revelation: the process is surprisingly simple, and the results are fresh, energising, and delicious.
Juicing sweet potatoes transforms them into a drink that’s both nutritious and full of character. Unlike other vegetables that can be bitter or flat, sweet potatoes bring a natural sweetness that pairs beautifully with fruits, citrus, and a hint of spice. In this post, we’ll walk you through three creative sweet potato juice recipes that will turn your mornings (or any time of day) into a bright, flavour-packed ritual.
Wash and Peel: Rinse your sweet potatoes under cold water to remove any soil. Then peel them, or leave the skin on if you prefer a more rustic texture.
Chop: Slice the sweet potatoes into chunks small enough for your juicer.
Juice: Feed the chunks into your juicer according to your machine’s instructions.
Experiment and Enjoy: Sweet potatoes are versatile, so mix in apples, carrots, oranges, or a touch of ginger and turmeric for extra brightness and depth. Pour, sip, and savour immediately, or blend a little with other juices for a custom twist.

This vibrant juice starts with a peeled and chopped sweet potato, two apples, one orange, a carrot, four celery stalks, and a 3-inch piece of turmeric. Feed the ingredients slowly into your juicer, stir together, and enjoy immediately. Tip: A pinch of black pepper enhances turmeric absorption.

Bold, zesty, and energising, this juice combines one large sweet potato, one crisp apple, two celery stalks, a punchy inch of ginger, and optionally a 4-inch piece of turmeric. Start by juicing the ginger and turmeric to release their full aroma, then follow with apple, sweet potato, and celery. Pour it over a celery stick and let it steep in the fridge for a few hours. Every sip carries a burst of brightness and warming spice.

Bright, refreshing, and full of natural sweetness, this juice mixes one large peeled sweet potato, three carrots, one orange, two celery stalks, and one seeded red bell pepper. Serve over ice for a crisp, refreshing drink. A squeeze of lemon lifts the flavours even more, making this juice feel like sunshine in a glass.
Choose a juicer that handles firm vegetables easily to get the smoothest result. Experiment with leafy greens, berries, or citrus to add personality and flavour. Drink your juice immediately to enjoy every bit of freshness, colour, and nutrients, and don’t be afraid to tweak the recipes until they feel perfectly yours.
