Key Lime Smoothie

Key Lime Smoothie

Ingredients

• 1 cup Frozen pineapple chunks (adds natural sweetness and thickness)

• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

• 1/4 cup Fresh key lime juice (about 5–6 key limes or 2 regular limes)

• 1 tsp Lime zest

• 1/2 cup Milk of choice (dairy, almond, or coconut milk)

• 1 handful Fresh spinach (optional, for that vibrant green color)

• 1 tbsp Honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)

• Optional Garnish: Whipped cream, graham cracker crumbs, and lime slices.

Instructions

1. Prep the Limes: Zest one lime before juicing. If you can’t find key limes, regular Persian limes work perfectly fine—they are just slightly less aromatic.

2. Combine: Add the frozen pineapple, Greek yogurt, lime juice, lime zest, and liquid sweetener into a high-speed blender.

3. Add the Greens: Throw in a handful of spinach. This provides the bright green hue seen in the photo without changing the tropical flavor profile.

4. Blend: Pour in your milk and blend on high until completely smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add an extra splash of milk. If you prefer it frostier, add a half-cup of ice.

5. Serve: For the full experience, rim your glass with honey and dip it into crushed graham cracker crumbs. Pour the smoothie in and top with a dollop of whipped cream and a lime wheel.

Quick Tips

• Protein Boost: Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder for a more filling meal.

• Vegan Option: Use coconut yogurt and agave nectar for a completely plant-based treat that pairs beautifully with the lime.
