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.

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! =)

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 🙂
bakerbynature says
Thanks, Charles! The texture added from the crackers was definitely a fun twist!
