Favorite flavors of all-time:
Butterscotch
Marshmallow
Toffee
Vanilla bean
Pumpkin
Dark chocolate
Coconut
Graham
Sounds like a need a scoop of S’mores ice cream!
After seeing Mamapea put crushed graham crackers on her pumpkin pie smoothie, I had to repeat it. After breaking into a package of organic cinnamon grahams (New Morning brand I picked up as HLS swag) last night, I decided to crumble them into breakfast.
Pumpkin Graham Smoothie
- 1/4 cup raw rolled oats
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup yogurt
- 1/2 banana
- 1/2 cup pumpkin
- Pinch salt
- 5 ice cubes
- Pinch each of cinnamon, all spice, ground cloves
Toppings: Graham + Biscoff
Coconut tea!
I’ve already spent half the morning cleaning a baseboard area that was filled with crud. The Scour Off cherries took it right up, but like painting trim, once you start you can’t stop.
Must stop because I must focus today!

Ashley @ Coffee Cake and Cardio says
I’ve been buying this pumpkin ice cream from Edy’s and topping it with cool whip and graham crackers… it is seriously just like pumpkin pie! Love it!
I’ll have to try this smoothie.
kathleen @ the daily crumb says

alyssa - fashion fitness foodie says
I love s’mores and pumpkin! i’m thinking this needs to be made this morning!
Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat says
vanilla, pumpkin, and butterscotch are 3 of my favourite flavours, and not just for fall! i also thought the graham crackers in mama pea’s recipe looked delicious. it’s been forever since i’ve had some!
Heather @ Side of Sneakers says
Graham + pumpkin = pie in a bowl. Yum! 🙂
Khushboo says
I love me some graham crackers! I gotta say- I’m surprised nut butter didn’t make the cut as a favorite flavor!
Katie says
This looks amazing!!!! I dont really love yogurt though, hmmmmmm wonder if I could just make it into oats! Love the graham cracker addition!
dana says
I love using graham crackers in my smoothies. I make a banana, peanut butter and graham cracker smoothie (w/spinach, of course) all of the time!
Angie @ Musings of a Violet Monkey says
It’s been ages since I’ve had graham crackers. I have been unable to find a healthy brand, that meets my criteria (whole wheat, no refined sugar, etc)… I guess I just need to make some myself! It’s what I do. 😉
That smoothie looks delish. I’m enjoying a bowl of Coach’s Oats myself.

Gina @ Running to the Kitchen says
I have matching orange & white mini pumpkins on my table too. So much cuter than the big ones 🙂
Ashley @ My Food 'N' Fitness Diaries says
I always forget about graham crackers for some reason… I have no idea why because I DO love them! Great idea, I’ll have to do this!! I’m sure it’ll make the smoothie taste even more like pumpkin pie! 🙂
Cait's Plate says
Oh man I can only imagine how good the biscoff + graham flavors were together…let alone on top of pumpkin! I literally drooled on myself when Mama Pea posted that the other day…aaaand now again with yours 🙂
Sweet and Savvy says
Oh boy… I LOVE Graham crackers too! It is one of my favorite flavors. I need to pick up Some organic ones. I’ve never seen them before!
Kim@TheCrunchyKind says
genius! i made a pumpkin pie protein smoothie for bfast yesterday and all i could think of was how it was missing the CRUST!
Annette @ EnjoyYourHealthyLife says
This does sound like a delicious idea! YUMM.
Kelli H (Made in Sonoma) says
That looks so good!
Katie @ Talk Less, Say More says
Your pumpkin smoothie looks orangier than mine did the other day…hm…I must still perfect my pumpkin smoothie. I will have to keep trying. 😉
Colleen (What's Baking in the Barbershop) says
I love graham cracker flavor too! I’m from upstate NY originally, and if you ever find yourself up that way, you MUST find a Stewart’s ice cream shop and try their flavor, “Crumbs Along the Mohawk.” It’s a graham cracker and caramel ice cream that is my all-time favorite! My mom always has some in the freezer for me as a treat when I travel home now. 🙂
Sarah@The Flying ONION says
Ooohh…I love this idea! Must try tomorrow morning. 😀
Hilliary @ Happily Ever Healthy says

Michelle says

KathEats says
OH thanks so much! <3 Pinterest
Marie@feedingfive says
As always beautiful photos. You made me laugh, I haven’t heard anyone say crud in a long time. My mom used to say it a lot, it just fits sometimes.
Jill in Chicago says
I tried to make a pumpkin smoothie today (loosely following your recipe,) and it tasted much more like liquid squash and less like a fall dessert. Perhaps I didn’t use enough spices??? I didn’t want to throw it out, but also couldn’t stomach it 🙁
KathEats says
They aren’t really sweet – which often surprises me since I’m used to pumpkin being sweet. Add a little maple syrup!
Lauren @ Oatmeal after Spinning says
I would definitely mirror your favorite flavor list, but also add caramel for myself. 🙂
Have you ever made graham crackers? I made them last year to give to co-workers for holiday gifts (along with rosemary crackers). They were a huge hit!
Easy to make, too! I used this recipe: http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/recipes/recipe.php?recipeId=2629
KathEats says
No but I need to!
Anne @ Baking Me says
Yum, your breakfast looks sooo good! I must get some pumpkin!
Lisa says
I bought Biscoff spread for the first time this past weekend and oh, my goodness!! I am not a fan of nut butters at all–horror, I know! But the Biscoff spread is so delicious–especially spread on a graham cracker or with an apple. In love with it.
Kiran @ KiranTarun.com says
Holy yum! That’s one delicious looking bowl of pumpkin smoothie!
Karen says
Oh…looking forward to the video!
Hope you have a productive day, Kath!
Nikita says
Looks delicious! I did end up making sweet potato puree which was fabulous in my oats and I have a suspicion it will also make amazing pancakes. Not sure if it will work in a smoothie but I will probably give it a try!
Lauren @ What Lauren Likes says
I am definetly trying this out!! Looks amazing 🙂
Christine @ Oatmeal in my Bowl says
But have you tried Toasted Marshmallow syrup in a mocha? Mmmm…..
Cait @ Beyond Bananas says
When I did the 3-Day for a cure this summer, one of the snacks they had at the fueling stations fo PB & J on graham crackers. Now.. this was processed so it wasn’t a huge fan .. but I have since started replicating with my own ingredients and the combination of flavors is to die for!!
Elisabeth says
Graham is definitely one of my favorite flavors, too 😉
lynn @ the actor's diet says
pinkberry has a graham cracker option. it’s a good one.
Johanna B says
Replace the butterscotch with cinnamon and I”d pretty much have the same list. I do love my cinnamon.
Ashley says
I absolutely love graham crackers and totally miss them. Must create a GF version!!
Deva @ Deva by Definition says
I love graham crackers – esp when I make PB S’Mores!
Casey @ Pocket Full of Sunshine says
Yum. 🙂 Great smoothie topping idea. Enjoy your day Kath!
Katie of Cabbage Ranch says
1. The smoothie looks delish! and 2. I wish I’d never started noticing baseboards in our house. I’m no neat freak, but now our dirty baseboards plague me until I clean them. A totally random pet peeve!
Sara @my less serious life says
this is a brilliant idea! now i just have to get into smoothies. or…add the grahm topping to my Kath-inspired oatmeal 🙂
Katie @ Peace Love and Oats says
I got some ginger flavored cat cookies from trader joes (yes, they are shaped like cats) and they are so good crumbled on top of a smoothie!
Rosa - Fitness, Food, Fulfilled says
That sounds so delicious. I love how graham crackers add a kick of flavor to almost any dish. I love them crumbled up on top of my chocolate pudding with a scoop of marshmallow creme because it tastes like a cold s’mores, one of the best flavors in the world.
jordan @ thedancingdonut says
man, that looks good!! i’m so addicted to graham crackers, i really don’t trust myself to have a box in this apartment. i might cave soon, though…
and we have all the same favorite flavors! the best part is that most of those taste yummy combined, too 🙂
Erica says
That looks ridiculous good! mmmm so perfect for Fall! Hope you’re doing well Kath!
Lea @ Healthy Coconut says
Glad coconut made it in that list of fave food.
Trader Joe’s have new graham cracker line too. I started seeing them recently.
I like using graham crackers in baking as base/crust. I love it when I made vegan magic coconut bars.
Julia H. @ The Petite Spiel says
I am SUCH a huge fan of using graham cracker crumbs as a topping. Whenever I get frozen yogurt or go somewhere like Cold Stone for ice cream, I always always get graham cracker crumbs mixed in. I’ve even mixed them into Greek yogurt as a dessert at home. Mmm mmm good.
Rachel says
I love crunching graham crackers for dessert. They’re so simply but delicious. So far I think te Whole Foods store brand is my favorite.
Hillary says
Amen to all of those flavors. You can put toffee on pretty much anything, and I will eat it happily.
katie @KatieDid says
mmm love the different textures of that too, very satisfying I’m sure!
Sarah @ Sarah's Modern Bites says
Girl, you are busy today! FOCUS!!!!! 😉 I bet the run will help you get focused… a good run at the start of the day always helps me relax so I can have a productive and smooth day!
The graham crackers with the Biscoff must have been AWESOME 🙂
Kasey says
Love the fall themed breakfast 🙂
I also love graham crackers!
Mama Pea says
So happy to have been a part of your breakfast! Where’s the whipped cream? 😉
KathEats says
🙂 Didn’t have time to hunt some down!
emily says
Your favorite flavors list is identical to mine, except trade grahams for BISCOFF!
J3nn (Jenn's Menu and Lifestyle Blog) says
Yeah, the graham on Mama Pea’s smoothie looked amazing!! Yours looks yummy, too. 🙂
Averie @ Love Veggies and Yoga says
That looks….delish!
Grahams + Biscoff spread…nice. A winning combo for me for sure!
Maria @ Sinfully Nutritious says
I love grahams with pumpkin too, but even more in Fall, ginger snaps and pumpkin. Especially if I make pumpkin ice cream and freeze it between 2 ginger snaps for a “Snappy Pumpkin Ice Cream Sandwich”.
Alaina says
All of those flavors together sound so amazing! Especially the biscoff and graham on top. 🙂
Carly says
This breakie looks so festively delicious! What brand of Coconut tea are you drinking?
KathEats says
Adagio tea’s – it the best coconut!
Katie says
Ahh! Oh, man. This is too cool!
Kerry says
You should have seen the double take I did when I saw the name of this recipe! Pumpkin Graham forever! Sounds like an amazing Dairy Queen blizzard 🙂
