Sweet and creamy, this Berry Pie Smoothie is the ultimate Summer treat!
Tuesday, as lovely as it may be, just does not strike me as “make a homemade pie” kind of day.
Unless you’re a professional pie maker, and then… I may be wrong.
But for the rest of us folk, I’d say the luxury of time is hardly on our side come the work week.
Laundry needs washing, puppies need walking, work needs to be promptly attended to, and um, have you seen your bathroom lately? Seriously… get on that.
Ok. That last part was to me. I still flip out like a 13 year old when I’m forced to clean anything. I’m working on it.
But, back to the point!
Tuesday is a smoothie day. A smoothie that tastes as good as pie, and is acceptable for breakfast… or lunch… or whatever you’re feeling.
It’s as splendid as it sounds. And looks way better in a bathing suit.
Talk about a weekday win!
Fresh Summer berries in their prime – is there a prettier sight?
Have a berry good day!
Yeh… I went there.

Love the graham crackers in here. Kind of a fun twist 🙂
Love the beautiful berries and love the idea of adding graham crackers!
Ooh wow! I love the graham crackers added in…definitely does a great job resembling a pie!
Oooh, this smoothie looks so yummy! I love your addition of graham crackers – it’s like a real pie! 🙂
It really did satisfy my pie urge. Well… for the moment at least; I’ve got plans for some rhubarb pie very soon!
I love smoothies! The addition of the graham crackers is a great idea. This looks delicious!!
Oh, how I wish I were sipping on one of these babies right now. They look so refreshing, summery and delish!
Super delish!
Well damn, I wasn’t expecting the graham crackers… that came as a bit of a surprise, but I have cookie in frappaccino sometimes so it’s not really strange – sounds like a great “meal” to take with you when you’re on the go… packed with flavour. Love the photos with the berries in – so beautiful 🙂
Thanks, Charles! The texture added from the crackers was definitely a fun twist!
berry nice! sorry couldn’t resist.
Glad we share the same sense of humor 😉
I’m so making this one!!! OMG, this looks so good. Everyday can be smoothie day for me. I have leftover opened-packaged graham crackers so this is perfect timing! =)
I’ve been having at least 4 smoothies a week since the heat started rising!
I love that you added graham crackers to this! What a fun and creative idea! Aaaaand you’d better believe that this is going to be my morning smoothie tomorrow! Love it.
That post made my mouth water! I want one of those right this minute, please!
I want one now, too! It’s so humid, a smoothie would do me wonders right now!
Yum! This smoothie has instantly become a new favourite! I didn’t have any vanilla yogurt on hand so I just used plain Green yogurt and added a bit more vanilla extract. I also omitted the honey because I thought it would be sweet enough with the berries and banana and it turned out perfect 🙂
I will definitely make this again. Thanks for sharing yet another great recipe, Ashley!
This smoothie is berry berry good. I made it for my kids and they loved it. Thought some feedback will be nice. I made it with just berries and honey. The graham crackers, that is an ingenious idea. Thanks Ashley.
