Creamy Banana Pie Smoothie

1 cup Greek yogurt (I used vanilla)
1/2 cup milk (non-fat, almond, your choice)
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 large ripe banana
1 cup ice cubes
crushed graham cracker for garnish
dash of cinnamon for garnish

Add yogurt, milk, vanilla extract, banana and ice cubes to blender. Pulse on high until well blended. If you like thicker consistence add more ice.

Pour into tall glass. Sprinkle with a bit of crushed graham crackers and cinnamon and drink immediately.

Now wasn’t that easy? Have it as a breakfast or mid-afternoon snack, either way you can’t go wrong. Cheers to mornings and cheers to a satisfying Creamy Banana Pie Smoothie!
