Healthy Banana Cream Pie Milkshake — ultra thick, rich, creamy, sweet, and jam-packed with banana cream pie flavor. SHHH, you’d never know it’s refined sugar free, fat free, high fiber, high protein and gluten free!
This is like, the healthiest milkshake in the world. It’s rich and sweet without the ice cream, sweetened condensed milk, granulated white sugar and artificially flavored syrups. Plus, it’s super easy to make with only 6 ingredients!
Okay, it’s time for me to fess up…
Banana Cream Pie has been on my Recipe Wishlist for about a year and a half (maybe more?) now. Every time I make it, it’s a total failure. Half the time it’s because I overcook the pastry cream (and if you’ve done that before, then will you sit and sulk with me?) and the other half it’s because the filling doesn’t solidify properly.
So I cheated and made a milkshake version instead.
(I would really like to meet the person who made up the saying said “it’s as easy as pie” … because clearly pie don’t come to me friggin easy! *rolls eyes*
Healthy Banana Cream Pie Milkshake
This 6-ingredient Healthy Banana Cream Pie Milkshake is ultra thick, rich, creamy, sweet, and jam-packed with banana cream pie flavor — like banana cream pie in smoothie form. You’d never know it’s refined sugar free, fat free, high fiber, high protein, and gluten free too!
-
Add all of the ingredients to a blender. Puree until smooth.
-
Refrigerate to chill, or add a few ice cubes to the blender if you want to drink it immediately. Serve with extra sliced bananas, natural whipped cream (avoid brands that use hydrogenated oil, I use Soyatoo Rice Whip), crumbled walnuts, and/or a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs!

There is no fat added in the recipe (the fat in the recipe comes from the almond milk) and there is no sugar added either (all the sugar is from the banana and the yogurt)! If you would prefer a milkshake with fat in it, simply add a tablespoon or two of natural peanut butter, roasted almond butter or maybe even some cashew butter!
This Healthy Banana Cream Pie Milkshake is pretty much perfect for breakfast and dessert.
And brunch and lunch. And maybe even dinner too. You know, in case you’re “pressed for time” or something? I don’t know, it’s just me here making up excuses to make this again and again.
Join me will ya? 😉
