Ingredients

  • ½ cup milk I use 2%, but you can also use the 1 % for lower-fat
  • 6 oz plain Greek yogurt 2%
  • 30 grams vanilla protein powder *I used Puori bourbon vanilla whey
  • 2 tbsp key lime juice different from regular lime juice, available in the juice aisle at most grocery stores
  • 2 tsp maple syrup *you can also use sweetened condensed milk (authentic key lime pie sweetener) or honey
  • 1 packet stevia optional for added sweetness
  • ¼ cup frozen avocado
  • ½ cup ice or frozen milk cubes
  • 1 sheet of graham crackers *optional crushed, for topping
  • optional: handful of baby spinach

Instructions

  • Add all the ingredients to your blender in the order listed. This helps everything blend up nice and smooth (no avocado chunks or spinach bits left behind!).
  • Start on low, then gradually increase to high speed. Give it a good 30-60 seconds to make sure everything’s thoroughly combined and velvety smooth.
  • Pour into a glass and top with graham cracker crumbs. Add a dollop of whipped cream, if desired, and enjoy!

Notes

  • To turn it into a key lime pie smoothie bowl, use less liquid and more frozen ingredients (like avocado or banana) to make it extra thick. Serve it in a chilled bowl topped with crushed graham crackers, coconut flakes, granola, fresh lime slices, or a drizzle of almond butter. 
  • Make sure you're using key lime juice –NOT regular lime juice. They’re totally different flavor-wise. If you can’t find fresh key limes, bottled key lime juice (like Nellie & Joe’s) works perfectly and saves time-my go-to.
  • Smoothie too tart? If it’s too tart for your taste, add a bit more sweetener or a little extra milk to mellow it out. You can also adjust the sweetener to taste. Sometimes I'll swap the maple syrup for all stevia to cut the sugar and calories a bit.
  • You can find frozen ripe avocado cubes in the freezer section of the grocery store. I always keep a bag in my freezer to toss into smoothies.
