This Healthy Key Lime Pie Smoothie is a deliciously refreshing and nutritious treat that captures the tangy flavor of key lime pie in a creamy, drinkable form. Made with frozen banana, Greek yogurt, fresh lime juice, honey, and a hint of vanilla, this smoothie is quick to prepare and perfect for breakfast or a satisfying snack.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 banana (sliced and frozen)
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (130 g, or dairy-free alternative)
  • ¼ cup key or regular lime juice (60 mL)
  • 1 Tbsp honey (15 mL, or sweetener of choice)
  • ½ tsp finely grated lime zest
  • ¼ tsp vanilla bean paste

Optional Ingredients

  • Ice (as needed, for texture)
  • Fresh spinach leaves (for color)
  • Graham cracker crumbs (for garnish)
  • Lime wedge (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Blend: Combine the frozen banana, Greek yogurt, lime juice, honey, lime zest, and vanilla bean paste in a blender. Blend until smooth, adding ice gradually to achieve your preferred consistency. For a slight green hue and added nutrients, include a few fresh spinach leaves if desired.
  2. Serve: To garnish, rub lime juice around the rim of your serving glass and roll it in crushed graham cracker crumbs for a pie-like finish. Pour the smoothie into the prepared glass and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Frozen banana adds natural sweetness and creaminess, making the smoothie thick without ice cream.
  • Use dairy-free yogurt to make this smoothie vegan and dairy-free.
  • Adjust honey or sweetener to taste depending on your preference and sweetness of bananas.
  • Add ice incrementally to control thickness.
  • Garnishing with graham cracker crumbs and lime wedge enhances the key lime pie experience but is optional.
  • Fresh spinach adds color and nutrients without overpowering the flavor.
