Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 1 medium Frozen Ripe Banana Adds natural sweetness and creaminess; opt for overripe bananas for maximum flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Lime Zest Provides vibrant citrus flavor that enhances the pie-like qualities of the smoothie.
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Lime Juice Adds refreshing acidity; adjust for desired tartness, using key lime for authentic flavor.
  • 1 cup Vanilla or Coconut Greek Yogurt Contributes both creaminess and protein; choose coconut yogurt for a dairy-free version.
  • 1 cup Light Coconut Milk Creates a luscious base for the smoothie; feel free to substitute with your favorite plant milk.
For the Greens

For Serving

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by rimming your smoothie glass with lime juice. Dip the rim into crushed graham cracker crumbs for that authentic key lime pie touch. Set the glass aside.
  2. In a high-powered blender, combine the frozen ripe banana, lime zest, fresh lime juice, and yogurt of your choice. Pour in the light coconut milk and add the fresh spinach along with vanilla extract. Blend on high for about 30-45 seconds, or until the mixture is velvety smooth.
  3. Taste the smoothie, and if desired, add maple syrup or honey for sweetness. Blend for another 10 seconds.
  4. Pour the smoothie into your prepared glass. Top with whipped cream, toasted coconut, and more graham cracker crumbs.
