The star of this recipe is, of course, the banana. We use a full cup of ripe banana slices, which are first arranged on a baking sheet and frozen until firm. This step ensures a thick, frosty texture that mimics the creamy layers of a traditional banana cream pie. Combined with 2 servings of Graham cracker crumbs, whole wheat graham cracker crumbs, ice cubes, 1% low-fat milk, vanilla low-fat yogurt, nonfat dry milk, and a hint of vanilla extract, this smoothie transforms into a delightful banana cream pie-inspired beverage.
For an added touch of texture and flavor, we sprinkle the finished smoothie with more Graham cracker crumbs before serving. It's a simple gesture that makes a world of difference, adding a delightful crunch that complements the smooth, creamy base.
