Happy Pi Day!!! Yes, that’s right…its 3/14. Now before you go and grab that piece of pie, let’s see if we can make a smoothie that is equally enjoyable! Want to eat it with a spoon? No problem. Just cut the milk in half and make it a smoothie bowl!
I have a few pie favourites…apple, coconut, berry, peach, lemon mirangue, and cherry are all high on the list. I am really not a big “dessert” person though. Really, who needs all that extra sugar when we have fantastic tasting fruit?! Perhaps you want to skip and pie and the smoothie and enjoy the fruit as it is. That is an amazing plan too. But in case you want to add a little extra flare to your snack today…here are a few ideas…and some have an extra punch of veggie power too!!
Coconut Cream Pie Smoothie Ingredients
2 cups Unsweetened Coconut Milk
1/2 cup Coconut Yogurt (or vanilla Greek yogurt if you cannot find coconut milk yogurt)
1 Banana
1 cup frozen pineapple
1/2 cup shredded coconut
2 Tbsp. Manitoba Harvest Hemp Hearts
Peach Pie Smoothie Ingredients
1-2 cups Almond Milk
1/2 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
1 cup frozen peaches
1 cup frozen mangoes
2 Tbsp. Manitoba Harvest Hemp Hearts
Cherry Chia Pie Smoothie Ingredients
1-2 cups soy milk
1 banana
2 cups frozen cherries
1 cup spinach
1/2 Tbsp. Agave
2 Tbsp. Chia seeds
Apple Pie Smoothie Ingredients
2 cups almond milk
1/2 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
2 apples
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 cup diced carrots
1/4 cup oatbran or steel cut oats
These were all tested in my Vitamix but should work in any blender
Well this list could go on and on but I will stop here. Hopefully this gives you some fresh and nutritious alternatives to the traditional pie on pi day.
Until next time…stay healthy!
