Banana Cream Pie Smoothie
OK, who doesn’t love boston cream pie? When I saw this recipe at www.myrecipes.com I knew it would be a great way to have a lo-cal dessert after dinner.
This recipe makes 2 servings:
1 large banana (frozen)*
1 cup vanilla low-fat yogurt
1/2 cup skim milk
2 TB. graham cracker crumbs (about 1/2 a cookie sheet)
1 TB. nonfat dry milk**
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
3 ice cubes
Place frozen banana and all the ingredients except the graham cracker crumbs into a blender. Process until smooth. Sprinkle each with 1 TB. of the graham cracker crumbs.
*Peel the bananas before freezing.
**If you don’t have non-fat dry milk, it still tastes great!

Wow, that sounds great and refreshing, esp since it’s still really hot right here in LA…Fave low-cal dessert…honestly I don’t think anything beats fresh fruits with real whipped cream!
