Description
This Coconut Key Lime Pie Smoothie is creamy, bright, and naturally sweet with refreshing lime flavor and tropical coconut notes. It tastes like a cool key lime dessert while still being nourishing enough for breakfast or a quick snack.
Ingredients
1 large frozen ripe banana, sliced
Zest from 1 small lime
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/2 cup vanilla or coconut Greek yogurt
1/2 cup light coconut milk
1/2 cup fresh spinach
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey, optional
Graham cracker crumbs, for serving
Whipped cream, for serving
Toasted shredded coconut, for serving
Instructions
- Wet the rim of a glass with a lime wedge, then dip it into graham cracker crumbs.
- Add the frozen banana, lime zest, lime juice, yogurt, coconut milk, spinach, and vanilla extract to a blender.
- Blend until smooth and creamy, adding a splash more milk if needed.
- Taste the smoothie and add maple syrup or honey if extra sweetness is desired.
- Pour into the prepared glass and top with whipped cream and toasted shredded coconut before serving.
Notes
Use coconut Greek yogurt for a stronger coconut flavor.
Baby kale can be used instead of spinach.
Add a scoop of protein powder for extra protein.
Use honey instead of maple syrup if preferred.
Add extra graham cracker crumbs on top for a more dessert-like smoothie.
Store in a sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours and shake or blend again before drinking.
For a thicker smoothie, use less coconut milk or add more frozen banana.
Dairy-free coconut yogurt works well for a dairy-free version.
