At this point in my healthy smoothie obsession, any smoothie that doesn’t involve a vegetable feels like a treat (although green smoothies can be treats too, of course). And if it’s a treat you’re looking for, this Key Lime Pie Smoothie is it! It has protein-packed Greek yogurt, sweet banana, fresh lime juice, and honey. When that all comes together with a quick blitz in the blender, the result is a creamy and sweet lime smoothie that’s a dead ringer for Key Lime Pie in snack-able smoothie form!
Ingredients for this Key Lime Pie Smoothie
Just a few ingredients come together into a creamy smoothie that tastes like pie!
Banana: Freeze your banana slices ahead of time to make this lime smoothie cold and frosty (our guide to frozen banana here). Yogurt: Plain Greek yogurt makes this smoothie rich and creamy. You could also throw in a dollop of cream cheese for a more decadent, cheesecake-y smoothie. (Or check out all Greek yogurt substitutes here, cottage cheese is another good one!) Lime: You can use key lime juice or regular lime juice, but aim for fresh juice where possible. (Be sure to save a slice of lime for the garnish!) Sweetener: I love honey in this smoothie, but you could also use sugar, agave, or maple syrup. Vanilla: Finish it off with a dash of vanilla extract to bring that pie feeling!
Variations on this Key Lime Pie Smoothie
More Creamy: For an even creamier smoothie, replace 2 tablespoons of the yogurt with cream cheese. Add Color: To give this key lime pie inspired smoothie more green color, add a few leaves of fresh spinach. The spinach flavor is undetectable and it makes this smoothie even more fun! Make It Lemon: This recipe also works great with fresh lemon juice and zest! Make Popsicles: In the mood for popsicles? Add a touch more honey then freeze the mixture into homemade popsicles! Add Protein: Give it a boost of protein by adding cottage cheese or one of your favorite protein powders (vanilla is our choice).
