This Banana Cream Pie Smoothie tricks your taste buds into thinking they are getting a treat. But really, it’s a healthy smoothie. You could make this into a milkshake if you wanted by using vanilla ice cream instead of the yogurt, but I never said that. Nope. I did not.
I know it may not look like it from the recipes I post, but I really am trying to eat healthier. I absolutely believe in the saying, “All things in moderation”. Well, except when it comes to drugs or alcohol (I don’t drink) or breaking the law. You know, “It’s ok to do some drugs as long as it’s in moderation.” I mean when it comes to dieting. I will never be one to cut all sugar or carbs or whatever out of my diet. It just won’t happen. I love them too much. But I am trying to watch my portion sizes and how many sweets I eat. Maybe just one cookie instead of 3.

Yum! I recently made banana cream pie cookies that were amazing! And a banana cream pie smoothie sounds delicious. And its healthy!? yay!
The graham crackers as an ingredient and not just garnish are an interesting idea. Will have to try this recipe. Thanks.

Love this recipe! I have smoothies after I run, and this looks like a great candidate, since it has fruit and protein 🙂 My dad always says "Everything in moderation." It's totally true.
