Lemon Cream Pie Smoothie Bowl

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This vegan lemon cream pie smoothie bowl makes a cool, creamy summer treat! Frozen bananas, frozen pineapple, chilled coconut milk, lots of fresh lemon juice, maple syrup, vanilla, and a dash of turmeric (for color) are churned to perfection in a food processor. The bananas add a frosty quality while the coconut milk lends richness and a whipped, airy quality. But don't worry about it tasting like bananas, the fresh lemon juice weaves itself throughout and offers a bright, citrusy tang. Frozen pineapple teams up with the lemon juice to cut through the creaminess, lending both a pale yellow hue and a light, refreshing acidity. 

Lemon Cream Pie Smoothie Bowl

Whew, thank you for patiently listening to crickets chirp around here in recent weeks. I briefly mentioned what I've been up to in my last post, but here's a more detailed rundown of what I've been working on these last couple of weeks . . .

  • The last day of the school year was on May 25th, and I had lots of packing and tying of loose ends to tend to in preparation. My mom, being the wonderful woman she is, helped me pack-up my office on my last day. I had planned to tackle it myself but she must have sensed I was feeling sentimental about the whole thing as the day drew nearer. What I expected to be a bittersweet day turned out to be a fun one with her by my side. We noshed on avocado rice cakes, granola, and watermelon as we packed, occasionally pausing to reminisce about all the things that have happened since she helped move me into that office five years earlier.
  • Just two days later, Dan and I flew to PA to spend the long weekend with his family (and meet our second niece)! The weekend was both fun-filled and work-filled. I spent the mornings reviewing final edits for the book and the afternoons and evenings out and about making the most of the weekend with family.
  • We flew back home last Tuesday and from Wednesday through this morning, I've been working day and night to finish final cookbook edits and review design files for the layout. I turned in the edits late Sunday night (mid GoT episode) and it felt great. And so exciting too! It's feeling more and more real by the day, and I just cannot wait to share this book with you. I consider myself to be a hard worker in general, but I've worked harder on this book than anything else. At times, I've felt guilty for pulling back from the blog/social media to focus on the book, but seeing it all come together in such a wonderful way has soothed those feelings.

Alright, let's talk smoothie bowl. Lemon Cream Pie Smoothie Bowl, to be exact.

Lemon Cream Pie Smoothie Bowl

Truth be told, this smoothie "bowl" would be just as enjoyable served in a glass, so don't let the whole "bowl" thing stand in the way of your smoothie dreams.

Frozen bananas, frozen pineapple, chilled coconut milk, lots of fresh lemon juice, maple syrup, vanilla, and a dash of turmeric (for color) are churned to cool and creamy perfection in a food processor. The bananas add a frosty quality while the coconut milk lends richness and a whipped, airy quality. But don't worry about it tasting like bananas, the fresh lemon juice weaves itself throughout and offers a bright, citrusy tang. Frozen pineapple teams up with the lemon juice to cut through the creaminess, lending both a pale yellow hue and a light, refreshing acidity.

This cool lemony treat is the perfect antidote to the steamy summer heat. Look at that, I'm rhyming—not intentional, but I'll take it. And on that note, I'll leave you to it. The zingy, lemony treat, that is . . . ♥

    Is there any way that you could figure out the protein and sugars and so on so that I could calculate the points for weight watchers?

      Hi Denise, I'm so sorry, but I don't calculate nutrition information (my Facts page has more information if you're interested), but I believe there are a handful of online nutrition calculators that you can copy and paste the ingredients into to figure out the breakdown.

      I calculated it as 5 points per serving (using 0 points for the fruit, vanilla, and turmeric)

      I'm so sorry, but I don't calculate nutrition facts for my recipes (my FACTS page has more information as to why).
