Make the chai spice granola by combining 2 cups of oats, 1 cup of chopped walnuts, 1/2 cup of sliced almonds, and 1/4 cup of pumpkin seeds in a bowl.

Add in the chai spices and toss to incorporate.

In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/3 cup of maple syrup, 1/4 cup of melted coconut oil, and 2 teaspoons of vanilla.

Pour the wet mixture into the granola and stir until everything is well coated.

Spread the granola mixture onto a parchment-lined sheet tray.

Bake the granola at 325°F for 30 minutes, tossing every 10 minutes to ensure even cooking.

While the granola is baking, prepare the sweet potato pie smoothie by blending together 1/2 cup of Oikos triple zero vanilla Greek yogurt, 1 cup of almond milk, 1 frozen banana, 1 cup of frozen cooked cubed sweet potatoes, 1 tablespoon of almond butter, and 1 tablespoon of chia seed.

Add in 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon of allspice to the smoothie mixture and blend until smooth.

Pour the smoothie into glasses and serve with the chai spice granola.
