Key Lime Pie Smoothie

This healthy Key Lime Pie Smoothie recipe is creamy, tangy, and a delicious way to start your day (plus it’s a dead ringer for the classic dessert!)

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!

Ingredients for this Key Lime Pie Smoothie

• Banana: Freeze your banana slices ahead of time to make this lime smoothie cold and frosty.
• 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.
• Lime: You can use key lime juice or regular lime juice, but aim for fresh juice where possible.
• 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.
